It seemed to take forever, but I finally finished the super-long leg of sock #1. I am now trying to find the intestinal fortitude to cast on for sock #2.

I'm still working here and there on the first sock. It's very tall...but still not tall enough. DD1 likes her socks extremely long, like up to her knees, so it's taking me a while. I'm doing the leg in 1x1 ribbing to boot, so you can imagine how scintillating I find it. (The plunking sound you just heard is the drip-drip-dripping of my sarcasm.)

Well, with the wrap project scrapped; the Log Cabin project too big to transport (the blanket itself could probably be shoved into my bag, but the balls of yarn are enormous); two other projects finished; and two other projects being assiduously avoided; I needed something else to do. So why not make some socks for my older daughter.

I had some fingering weight acrylic in a greenish turquoise kicking about, probably enough for two pairs, so I started with that. It's going pretty well. I'm using my new sock pattern which I can't wait to have published so that I can link it up to all these damn sock projects I've been doing lately in my Ravelry notebook, and to show you some actual pictures of the socks.
