I mentioned that I wanted to do a sweater in 30 days, and I do plan on doing that. But, first, I want to finish up this pair of socks, so I can devote more time to the sweater project. This is just Lion Brand Magic Stripes yarn, nothing fancy, but they do make a nice pair of socks. This is their Bright Spring pattern, which is a nice diversion from the rain we've been having lately. They call it a sport-weight yarn, but it's really between a sport-weight and a sock-weight. I normally use size ones on sock/fingering weight, and a three on sport. These make up best with size twos (imo, ymmv). I just used my standard sock pattern on 2 circs - 2X2 rib for 2", st stitch for 40 rows, heel stitch for 2 3/4", grafted toe. Same old, same old. ;-) But good for a commute. I have a bazillion pairs of these things, in most every color they make - if they decide to discontinue it, I can let go - no regrets.
