pomatomus begins

I have been a crazy sock knitter lately. The portability of them is appealing, as I am tying up loose ends and running around everywhere. In my many errands, I stopped by Nina and aquired 2 skeins of Lorna’s Laces shepard sock in Motherlode. They pretty much insisted on their own that they must immediately be turned into a pair of Pomatomus socks. I dropped the Jaywalkers (about 1/2 of one sock done) and started these yesterday. Contrary to popular opinion, they knit up quickly and are pretty easy. The pattern is well-written and easy to follow–so far anyway. I love how quickly the pattern appeared, making me want to knit faster and faster because I can’t wait to wear them. That’s the sign of a good knit, eh? The yarn is richly colored and, honestly, intoxicating. I love it all together. Hopefully they will be done soon! These will officially be my first pair of completed socks, provided I don’t get sucked into another pattern and lovelier yarn. Nah, not possible.  That doesn’t sound like me at all…

    Hi Barb! Yeah, I can get into myspace just fine. Haven’t had any problems at all (other than it being stuck in the technical stone age). E-mail tech support and they can help.
