Remember when I cast on my socks this month....like a solid two weeks ago??? This is all I have to show for myself.

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.
