A glorious cold snap and the arrival of Socktoberfest inspired me to finally act upon my simmering sock obsession. These two skeins topped my list:

Rio de la Plata Sock Solid in Seaweed

and Panda Wool in Strawberry Pink.

The Panda Wool got precedence because it’s destined for giftiness, and I began a pair of Hedera.

Then midterms came along, and my gauge tightened like a hungry boa constrictor. Behold the result:

That’s kind of how my brain feels now, after three midterms in two days. I am not overly hopeful about the results, but I don’t know that I care. Major case of senior bad attitude, I know, but the sock is back on track now, and that’s enough to make me happy.
