Waiting for Yarn

Waiting for yarn=Time for knitting socks

Since I've been waiting for the Jamieson's Spindrift to come in (maybe today!) I've been projectless... What to do? How about finish up the socks that I started months and months and months ago?

I've been knitting on the "Amber Socks" and I'm almost ready for toe decreases. Of course, if my yarn comes in today these will be set aside again. Maybe I'll be strong enough to force me to finish them finally, but that's not what knitting is really about is it?

I've been thinking about getting back into sock knitting for a while now. I love sock yarn, I continue to buy it, (my LYS got in a huge shipment of Koigu last week, I've been waiting but I might pick up some when the Spindrift comes in), but have stopped knitting the socks to use it. Alison's sock swap sounds like the perfect motivator. I really wanted to do it, but with the new yarn coming I just can't see myself getting motivated enough to finish a pair in time. I might still change my mind, it's such a great concept and I do love getting presents in the mail, (and of course giving them too). If you are a sock knitter, especially if you never keep them for yourself, you should go check it out.
