For the love of sock yarn!

Swap bag is done. Which sucks, because now the knit along part is over for me. Why do I do this to my self. I do get to shop for fun goodies to send to my partner and I may make another one so that I can still participate with my fellow swappers. I'm sure I won't finish so quickly on the second one. I just get overzealous. I started on my first real pair of socks. Until now I have always used worsted and size 8 needles to make slipper socks. This is the first sock yarn I have ever used and the first time I have used size 2 needles. They are shockingly taking the same amount of time as the slipper socks and I love using the self patterning sock yarn. I can't wait to buy some more sock yarn online. Thanks to knitpicks I have a beautiful selection of quality sock yarn and it is at a way better price than my local stores (which are Joann's and Michael's). Love love love knitpicks.

You've got a toddler and you finished already? You are obsessed, girl! I hope your spoilee is grateful when the goodies come. Rest assured, you'll be getting a package from me, but probably closer to the due date.
