Upon reading about my sock knitting, joVE commented that her knitting friends refer to sock knitting as - the DARK SIDE. Hmmmm, I wondered, never thought of it that way.

Then, I remembered that I had just told a friend that my sock knitting method is similar to chain smoking - those needles are never empty. Finish one sock, start the next, finish the second sock, and bingo - the first sock of the next pair is cast on quicker that I can say Jack Robinson. I have my next four pairs all planned out and ready to go.

I really must take some time to work on some other projects. I have a stole (rectangular shawl) in the works, and a lacy cardigan all ready to be put underway. Not to mention my felting. I also have a fabulous blue pullover that is 95% completed - just needs the bottom ribbing re-done and a bit of finishing.

 Several months elapse………Well, I wrote this back in August, but never published due to my ineptitude in adding pictures.  My Very Smart Friend, Kim, said I should just write and never mind about the pictures.  So, here I am, just writing.

 I’ve done several more pairs of socks - but also finished the blue pullover (I’ve been living in that all winter) plus slippers and a hat.  I think I’m finally becoming more balanced in my knitting.  Hurrah!
