I'm in Love!!!!

So, I've decided that I'm in love with socks, and I have to ask myself, how did this happen? I struggled with socks for the longest time, over a year, only finishing 1 sock and half of another, and really couldn't bring myself to finish the second sock. I just wasn't "in love" with the pattern or the yarn I used, frankly, and wasn't doing well with the "ankle" down approach. So, I tucked them away in some lonely drawer, amongst the other "misfit" yarn projects I didn't have the heart to complete, and today, a year or so later, I'm still left with those 1 and 1/2 socks. What to do with 1.5 socks? Hmmm, I will have to think on that one and post about it later. I don't think I will ever have the heart to finish them. But, and this is the great part, I don't care! Because I've actually fallen in love with socks, and this time it's here to stick! S and NK introduced me to the toe up pattern, and I've decided that I just can't get enough! The socks are knitting up beatifully, and I'm having dreams about them at night! (I'm taking that as a good sign:) Now if only I had more time to knit them! I need to do something about that, as there never seems to be enough time in a day.

Here are the Marbles JayWalker socks I started last week..... I'm ready to turn the heel!





And, I decided to work on another pair of Jaywalkers simultaneously, (I am that addicted!) so started a pair for my lovely sis in Socks that Rock Neptunite, which has some gorgeous striping also! Will post more on these socks as they increase in size....
