No More Lonely Socks

As you can see, the SSS (Second Sock Syndrome) is finally over! I have completed sock 2 of the Lombard Street Socks in the Aubergine Baby Silk - and the pair is O-So-Soft!!

Then, in the spirit of sweeping the decks clean, I cast on for the second RPM sock in the Koigu. I think sock 1 of this pair was completed in January.

Now, I must mention, I had every good intention of completing these. In my naivety, it seemed like a good plan at the time to start a second pair of socks, then alternate the second socks for each pair. Thought it might ease boredom, or something . . . Well, no such luck!! Just seemed to make it easier to keep knitting single socks. So, thought it should be nipped in the bud.

At least there's progress here. A lot of knitting was put on the back burner while my dad has been in the hospital and recuperating at home. Has been a very busy and tense time. But looks like I'm well on my way to getting the job done, at last!

Just found your blog. What a lovely thing to take care of your Dad. It is kind of amazing how time consuming it is to care for an elderly parent (which I do). Your socks are so nice. SSS sucks, though, doesn't it? Also, I love the baby blanket.

Hi there,

sorry for leaving this as a comment, but I couldn't find an e-mail address...

My e-mail contact is on my blog, as well as a new tip on how to get the pattern - right click for "save target as" or "save link as", that should work.

Thanks for your interest in my pattern and have a good weekend!
