I never thought it would happen to me.

Second sock syndrome. It must be a reflection of my tendency to be distracted by pretty things.

Here I am mid-sock. Four potential pairs of socks and nothing to wear. From the left, there is the Friday Harbour socks that I started in August, the Jaywalkers in River, some handspun socks knit toe-up, and a fresh new toe-up sock in the new sock yarn that I’m dyeing.

I’m using Wendy’s super fabulous toe-up sock pattern with 60 stitches around on 2.5 mm needles (US 1). It’s going super fast too — I knit almost the entire foot while watching Brokeback Mountain. Hopefully, if I keep this pace I’ll have an actual pair of socks to wear next week. I’m knitting toe-up because I want to see how much length I can get out of each skein… Then next time I can knit top-down and be more confident that I won’t run out of yarn by the time I get to the toe. I prefer the toes on top-down socks…

I’m all fidgety now after seeing Anna Maria’s Pomatomus sock and Lavender’s Pomatomus socks. Yummy. Must have new sock(s).

Finally, I did promise to update the shop this week with those new yummy superwash sock yarns… and I did… You can find them on the new SweetGeorgia Yarns online shop. Many of the yarns are already sold (you guys are fabulous — I love you all) but I will be dyeing again this weekend (since FibreFest in Abbotsford is next weekend).

Happy Thursday!
