Remember when I cast on my socks this month....like a solid two weeks ago??? This is all I have to show for myself.
Picture
What? No two-at-a-time socking this month? That's so stupid of you.  Yes. I agree. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Mostly, it seemed like a good idea because I wanted to use Turkish cast on, and I didn't want to spare the 60seconds it would have taken me to find another set of needles to hold stitches while I worked the toes separately. Laziness is just no good, friends. You take one short-cut, then another short cut, and before you know it, you're back where you started and you've only got one sock. (Mind you, this sock only took ~2days to knit, and I have been occupied otherwise meanwhile: item1, item 2, item3). My problem arises in my complete lack of motivation to cast-on and work my second sock. Hopefully, I will run out of sweater to knit soon and be forced to resume progress. I'll keep you posted. 

A side note; I'm both confused by and in love with my first skein of STR. I'm confused because, well... it's a lot more ... substantial... than the sock yarns I've used before. I had to modify the pattern and work 10 fewer stitches around in order to achieve a good fit. It knits really quickly, which is never bad, but it seems a little, bulky?? That is, until you put it on your foot. And then it feels normal; another point of confusion. As far as the love is concerned, it feels incredible and the stitch definition is swell.

You repeat knitting only one sock and you might have to start a sock basket.
