Crazy Socks

Ok, before you get ahead of yourself and think "holy crap, kim, how did you just bang out another pair of socks in 5 days," I want to remind you that you first saw this sock back on Feb. 22nd. And from what I can tell, scrolling back through my blog entries, that was also the last time I posted about them. The first sock has been sitting around for a couple of months. It was supposed to be for my sockapalooza pal, but I decided I didn't like them and instead made the tri-pink socks. A couple of weekends ago, I showed the sock to my mom and it fit her and she liked it, so I told her I would finish these for her. As soon as I got the sunny yellow-orange socks off the needles, the second crazy sock was started. What is interesting is that the second sock is a bit tighter than the first. I don't know if my gauge just changed slightly in a couple of months, or if because one was top down and the other toe up that that made a difference. Who knows?

So what do I have to work on now... I'm a little beyond halfway finished with the linen dish towel from Mason-Dixon Knitting. That picture is about a week old. And I'm working on a secret little project to submit to the next Stitch n Bitch book. If it doesn't make it in there, I'll put the pattern up here for y'all. Other than those, I have a pile of sock yarn calling my name, I think I might need to close my eyes, reach in and pick one randomly!
