I cast on a new pair of socks last night. It’s a strange thing, knitting and raiding in game do go well together, but only if you have knitting that you can pick up and put down without too much effort. The sweater and scarves that I’m working on have detailed patterns that require a bit of concentration, so I grabbed some sock yarn and started up a new pair last night. Twisted rib is good for stop and start knitting. Of course the whole idea of finishing off things before starting new ones went completely out the window, but I don’t care. I’m still ahead of the game for now, the rogue is about half done. The body is done and shoulders are seamed, it’s just the sleeves and hood to go.

I also found a copy of Alice Starmore’s Aran Knitting at the Georgia State library and I’m jumping up and down over the opportunity to be able to see those patterns.
