Foreign Sock Yarn: The Maverick’s Choice
Ah, foreign sock yarn, the first choice of those with taste. I swapped with Maverick for some beautiful sock yarn which I quickly turned into this almost-finished Maelstrom sock



As you can see, it isn’t finished. Why? Because the toe decreases are stupid, that’s why. Sorry, Cookie A, but I really think it’s over-writing a pattern when you write the decreases to include stitch markers. It’s not like I’m trying to keep in pattern on a stockinette toe! Especially when I ignore you and now my brain is dead and I’m searching for my 5th DPN.
However, as the weather is growing chillier, I really need to finish a pair of socks. So I’ll pull out the pattern and finish…as soon as I find the DPN! Stupid gnomes.

Socks on 2 circs. Just sayin’.
In the meantime, good luck with finding that DPN! We had a cold front come through over the weekend that dropped temps to the mid-70s, so we’re starting to bundle up a bit down here…
