Post Olympic knitting
Mood:  not sure
Topic: New Projects (started)
So now that the Olympic stress is past I needed something to do in the down time while re-planning the Aran sweater for Kevin. I may have to rip some of that out again but I wanted to be in a calmer state before I tackle it again.
 
Mom has this kewl yarn that she got from Countrywool and we hadn't made any major decisions on what to make with it but I liked the multi-colors in small sections and just had to use it for something.
 
These days in upstate NY it's unseasonably cold for February and it's continuing into March. . . single digits most nights and teens to low 20s during the day but that's all before the wind chill is considered and well that takes it to feeling like sub-zero all the time. So what to make to keep warm all the time. . . .duhhh. . . SOCKS! (o:
 

I plan to try a short row wrapped toe to see if I like the way they turn out, the only "design" I'm putting in it is k2p1 ribbing, enough stretch to fit but not so much that they become slouch socks.
 
I freely admit that in the first ohh about 5 rows I HATED these colors and all that was running through my head was "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?!?" I hated it so much in fact that I tore out the first 3 tries and on the 4th I pushed on through the first rows and as the knit relaxed into shape the color pattern exploded and I had a complete 180 change of opinion. . . now I wish they were done already I like the color so much!!!!!
