Tempting fate? (Elizabeth)


I have a half a finished object anyway....It all started because I wanted to have something new to knit at Sock Club. I figured if I cast on for my Buffalo Sock I could mindlessly knit on it if I ended up having time to knit Saturday. It turned out to be a very quick knit--lo and behold I am done already! I'm very pleased with my thick and hearty sock. I usually have no trouble at all with the dreaded 2nd Sock Syndrome. I usually cast right on, spurred on by the joy of the first warm sock on my foot. But what's a person to do if the yarn for the 2nd sock hasn't been spun yet?

Spin, spin, spin!! You better get on it!

That's a beautiful sock! Are you worried about Second Spin Syndrome?

Yes, I'm afraid if I don't get on it soon I won't spin the same kind of yarn that I did before. So I need to make this a top priority! This weekend is a lot of family functions with Easter, so wish me luck.

E-check this link out. I read this the other day and thought, what a great idea for those spinning projects that get put on the shelf for awhile: http://www.flickr.com/photos/designedlykristi/357702171/

BTW-I forgot to say that I love your sock and I want to see it in person!! Doesn't it feel good to know that NO ONE EVER will have the same sock?

Interesting note to self - I could also try to put into practice what I learned at a spinning class too. Thanks for the reminder, Jamisyn!
And yes, I like that no one else will have a sock like mine; I just hope that *I* have another sock like mine. :-)
