Sock whore

I admit, my head gets totally turned by new patterns and yarn. And I don't knit socks all that quickly, as you've probably figured out, so WHY this happens, I have no idea. The latest pronounecements from the Mount:

1. Bearfoot shall not be used for hippo socks. It just wasn't striking me as the "right" colourway for that pattern. Bearfoot shall now become Fluted Banister socks. This pattern just seems to suit the colourway better, and I can't wait to get started on them! This will be my next sock project. I think I will, again, modify it to a toe-up.

2. My Spunky Eclectic yarn shall be used for hippo socks. That does strike me as a fun colourway for those. They will be worked on after the Bearfoot.

3. Jaywalkers have about seven more rows left of the pattern, then the cuff ribbing and the heel. SOOO close! (I'm honestly not dragging them out in order to get closer to the loot-getting numbers of the 2000 Socks KAL over at Amie's. I swear, I am not that intelligent!) I'm really liking this whole afterthought-heel thing so far. I might try it again. I'd really love to have these guys done by the end of the weekend.

I must now suffer upon myself a pilgrimage (sp??) to my LYS in search of another size 5 circular needle. The KYOA Pi is too big to ML, but not yet big enough to work completely circularly. *sigh* Rogue is coming along extremely well. I'm having the teeniest trouble with laddering along the beginning-of-row marker, for some reason, and had to redo the first cable row, but I think it's going to be okay.

Now my Cubbies just need to start winning again and I need another pair of hands and an extra set of eyes so I can do this Guild Wars mission and knit at the same time.
