In Which the Pirate Knits Fancy Plain Socks, Again.

I bought this yarn with the intention of waiting to cast on until my team’s stupid offsite in February, and then I realized that I had nothing to knit in the car to and from Connecticut for Christmas. So here goes – another pair of plain stockinette socks, and I’m already up to the point where I’ll start the heel flap. Car rides are the best for getting lots of knitting done.

The patterning on the actual socks is playing out so much better than the label suggested they would. And, I mean, I bought the yarn because I liked the sample socks on the label!

Anyway, the second sock of the pair can be reserved for the offsite. It’s only four days; I can’t imagine I’ll be able to knit more than one sock in that time. (I know some people can, but I am not those people. In theory I’ll have many hours of knitting time on the airplane, but in practice my hands would hate me for a week if I tried to knit for that long without a break.)
