It is mid-January. This is Central New York. It is currently 50 degrees and raining. There is no snow on the ground. This is wrong on a number of different levels. However, our heating bill might not suck away all of our remaining savings this month. Silver lining to global warming, I guess.
Finally, the last of the planned projects:
I will never finish these socks. Never. That's not quite true. One is complete. The other is as you see here. The problem is that there are so many other flashy projects that I'd rather work on. These socks aren't flashy. The other problem is that winter doesn't quite want to hang around; therefore, my feet aren't cold; therefore, I have no real motivation to finish these workmanlike socks. And so they languish.
FWIW, I'd much rather be knitting socks with these yarns:
The top one is Koigu. The bottom is Lorna's Laces "Miata." And if I were to give up on the boring brown socks in favor of some flashy colorful socks, I'd use the pattern that all of the cool kids are knitting.
And if I were to do such a thing, which yarn would look the coolest? Thoughts?
