After the crush of the holidays, I actually stopped knitting on anything for a while. That stupor lasted all of 4 weeks, but Start-itis creeps back in like a thief in the night. I've started a poncho to put in Princess Julia's easter basket, and I was picking away at a birthday gift for my mother, but with no real conviction. That is, until I got the book Think Outside the Sox. Life-friggin-changing book, that is.
It made me think about how I haven't knitted any socks in a while, not since Suz's hanukkah yoga socks in December. So I scooped up some Patons Kroy in Cascade Colors to make the Button-up socks (bad photo but cute socks, I swear!), but I also fell in love with Paton's Cameo Jacquard while I was looking. The Jacquard isn't right for the Button-up socks, but they are perfect for plain old vanilla socks that get me back in the sock-knittin' mood.
That said, I've cast on to my new Knitpicks Harmony Wood US#3 DPNs and have been happily trucking away for the past few days. I even knit while eating beignets at Bayou Bakery on Shrove Tuesday. It's a nice way to start.
