Socks? What Socks?
My general perspective on socks is the same as Alison's: I can't want to make the socks.
I had tried numerous times to overcome this prejudice, but all previous attempts left me with nothing more than half a sock. I'd grow tired of the fiddliness, get bored with the slow progress and cast it aside in favor of something, well, less annoying.
How, then, did this happen?
I don't know if it was the pattern (Ann Norling's Adult Basic Sock), the yarn (Morehouse Merino 3-strand), or the needle size (6) but I managed to get through two whole socks this time. And it wasn't that bad!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that all of a sudden I can want to make the socks. But after this turn of events, who knows?
