On the left that's four skeins of Camouflage and two of Flames, on the right, two each of Seaside, Sandridge and Pinstripe. They're just crying out for some attention, so as soon as I've got the Rowan Calmer socks I started last night completed (hopefully by next weekend), I'll finally be able to start thinking about making my first pair with the Lorna's Laces. I want to use at least some of it to try out the Jaywalkers pattern finally, I feel like the only sock addict out there without a pair to my name.
So far this year I've managed to work faster than I expected on my socks. By the end of January I already had my Opal Elemente ones complete, and Thursday night, after a month of work I finally finished up the Colonel's Stipes socks (these are in two shades of Opal Uni, a turqoise/light blue and a sort of air force smokey dark blue). Was so proud of them that I wore them into work on Friday. Soon learned that the knee high ones have an icicle's chance in hell of staying up all day, within five minutes of leaving the house to walk to work, they had sagged down to 'slouch sock' level, not that I minded that too much.
Now I'm just looking forward to the end of my typing job so I can get my mornings off from the library back. When that happens in a few weeks I'll have tons more time to work on something more fun than copy-typing, maybe it'll even let me finish up the aran knit sweater I started before the summer, and I'll finally get through sock of the incredible sock stash that keeps building up.
