5 of 6

One advantage to never being able to sleep normal hours (despite best efforts) is that it leaves you with ample time to knit more.  (When the lover isn't home - he doesn't take to well to the very bright overhead light being turned on while he's sleeping.)  I am semi-trying to get these socks done for mom before she leaves on her trip.  And I say semi-trying, because I think, "It would be nice if I did!" but I know inside that it probably won't happen, since I think she leaves in a little over a week.  I'll probably have one sock done by then, since I'll have to take time to look up how to do the heel and graft the toe.  (Graft a toe?!)  But I do have 5 of the 6 repeats done as of this writing!  The heel is near!

It's also too bad that I wasn't browsing sock patterns/yarns more, because I've found a yarn called Denali from Pagewood Farms that would of course be fitting since it's Denali and I think that the Misty colorway would be a nice... Denali-ish color.  Maybe they could be a remembrance sock for the after-trip.  I wonder if I could send these to her mid-trip?

But, again, I'm getting ahead of myself - I'm planning all these wonderful sock projects, when I haven't even finished one sock, let alone a pair.  I'm worried that I'll have such a hard time with some aspect of the sock that I'll hate it and that entire section of knitting will be forever gone for me.

I feel the same way about the sweater, but I'll post about that when the yarn is here.
