Remember Socks?

Remember socks?  Yes. It is sock season as well as sweater season.  This year I have been paying attention to my sock drawer.  I have finished four pair and am actively working on a couple more. There are others on the go but there are reasons I am not working on them.  I hope to finish two more pairs this year.  It isn't a goal mind you.  Goals always seem to get in my way and end up making me feel like a failure. It is more of a 'would like to' scenario where if I don't, I don't and if I do, hooray. 

The first pair I am working on is a plain pair from the last of my Big Fabel stash.  I wish there were more super washable and machine dryable yarns on the market in this weight of yarn. 

It looks a little long for my feet.  I haven't stated the second sock in case I needed to take off the toe and reknit it.  When I do that, I can't really knit a garter square toe to end a sock so I need to know the fit of this sock before I start the second of the pair.  

I pulled out my favourite, best fitting pair of socks yesterday.   

They are knit in Kroy held double and are the nicest thing I have ever had on my feet.  If they are clean, I wear them.  I held them against the Big Fabel sock.

Pretty much a match.  It will do.

The red Third Coast sweater might not let me go long enough to knit on the Linger sweater or on socks, but if I start with those, they might get some time in too.  

Off to socks.  It's a great way to start the day.
