Just as most of the stories in my WIP parade begin, I started this sock long, long ago, with some fun and colorful Koigu that I'd had in my stash for a while. This Tropicana pattern looked fun and challenging, and it definitely proved to be true. But as fun and challenging as it is, I don't actually like wearing socks like this. I've never worn my beautiful jaywalkers out of the house!

So I rrrrrrrrrrripped it out and it became this. There's nothing I love more than curly koigu. I strrrretched
it out with my foolproof technique and next thing you know, I was ready to start on a new sock.

I'm using the "Sock Pattern to End All Sock Patterns" from knitspot and so far, so good! I really do prefer the toe-up sock because I can be sure to use all the yarn and not worry about running out, but I guess a little bit of uncertainty never killed anyone. Knitting this sock has starting to bring the enthusiasm back to my knitting, who would have thought!? I just can't stop that "one-more-row" thinking. I'm off to work on it tonight!
