Sock Syndrome

So, earlier I complained of the Second Sock Syndrome - where after knitting the first sock of a pair, I lose the enthusiasm necessary to complete the second sock of the pair. So, I decided that I would knit Sock #1 of three different pairs - I just finished sock #1 of the third pair, and I am thoroughly sick of knitting socks. I suppose my plan backfired. Oh well - I am sure after a month or two of sock knitting abstinence, my love of the tiny needles and self-striping yarn will be renewed and I will at last be able to finish these three pairs.

Here is completed sock #1 of pair #3:


In the meantime, I am going to finish this:


It is the Storm Water Shawl knitted from Sea Silk yarn (pattern and yarn purchased at Little Knits.) I had started it last fall with the intent of wearing it during my wedding. But, well, with school and the whole wedding planning thing, I got a little busy, and it has yet to be finished. My little brother is getting married at the end of the month. I doubt that I will really need a shawl in California in July, but who cares - the yarn is super luscious and I need something to motivate me to finish this project.

HiK - No worries, your slippers are still in the works. I needed a small break from the felted clog pattern, but they are coming - I promise!

JPo - I am very excited to see progress on your sweater!

Amanda - I am not sure if where the dog is going to be at Thanksgiving. But if it works out that we can bring him with us, we definitely will. Have a wonderful wedding weekend!
