jainaSo, thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
knitress and reading way too much of the Yarn Harlot over the last two days, I now want to knit socks. The fact that socks are vastly more complicated than anything I've ever tried ("anything" being Jayne hats and pantas) matters not. I want to make socks, dammit, and even though the Knitting Olympics are over, I can still embrace the ideal and challenge myself to try something new.
Luckily, I have no sock yarn, so I can't. Ha! Instead, I'm using yarn leftover from Christmas knitting and making hats for the Dulaan project (again, inspired byknitress). Last night I cast on this double-knit hat, except with worsted weight, because that's what I had, so it'll be child-sized. I knit pretty tightly, so I'm not worried. Once I figured out how to get both colors on, and how to hold them (thank you, Knitting Help!) it seemed to go okay. I can work on it while we're watching our Veronica Mars S1 DVDs (yay for Netflix!).
On a completely unrelated note (and not referring to anyone on the flist), I really, really dislike attention-whoring braggarts.
Really really really.
Really.

I've also got a Word document of the handout from the sock class I took at my LYS, if you want me to email it to you.
Jayne slippers are a fantastic idea! :)
