Still more progress!

Not any progress on the Sea Urchin actually, though I plan to work on it tonight .. maybe. The decreases are daunting to me, but after I finish them, really I don't have a lot to do so it's in my best interests to get them done.

I started a pair of socks though. Only one of a pair .. I wasn't wanting to do the whole two socks at a time thing while driving .. but it's a sock. And I'm mostly finished with the foot. It's my first toe-up sock, so I get to learn how to either work a short-row heel, or figure out how to do one with a heel flap. I have destructions for both, so we'll see.

Jason also started a pair of socks at the same time. I'm unsure how happy he is with it, or if he'll keep working on it, but I'm proud! It took him a while to get the toe right, and he's not pleased with how it's looking at the moment because he didn't mirror the increases, but he's also not willing to undo it and start over -again-, and I don't blame him.

I'm glad I got bit by the sock bug finally though. I have bunches of sock yarn. And if I use up what I have, that means I can get more!

I'm also rearranging my queue on Ravelry, to include only things I actually have the yarn for and intend to knit. I can use favorites for everything else.

I'm a big fan of toe-up heel flaps, FWIW.
