Here’s my problem -Second Sock Syndrome. I haven’t finished my sort of first sock yet, and I want to avoid SSS at all cost. The usual solution is to just start the next sock right away. But if I start the next sock right away, then I’m knitting another sock, and I don’t want to knit another sock. I want to knit a hat. I’ve already started the hat, it’s a nice hat, I’ve got the first bit of the hat done, and on top of that, it’s a gift hat. So I’m really committed to this hat.
But if I put aside my sock and work on the hat instead of the second sock – blammo! Second Sock Syndrome.
Soo….. I’ve found a solution. I just won’t finish the first sock yet! Then I can resume peaceful sock knitting after I finish the hat. No guilt, no hurry, no problem. Perfect.
See sock. See hat.
See Bee. Knitting is portable.

I can not tell you how cool that picture of Bee is. It’s too cool for words. WAY .
Aw, there is such a soft spot in my heart for little knitters!
As for the sock…two socks on two circs. Always. See the big bright sock on the left– http://twinsanity.blogspot.com/2005/02/abis-socks.html ? That was my second pair of socks. Check the date–There’s still only one of them. Lots more actual PAIRS once I learned 2 on 2.
