One Sock, Two Sock, Red Sock, Blue Sock

I recently finished two pairs of socks. I'd finished knitting them awhile ago, but in an uncharacteristic move, I didn't weave in the ends for a month. The first pair finished was the pair knit from Cathy's stash: Swedish Fish.

I made a few modifications. I made the leg 68 stitches, up 4 stitches from the 64 the pattern calls for. I also ignored the patterning on the foot and went with a 1x1 stripe.

The second pair of socks was my third pair of Primavera socks. I really struggled to find a pattern that showed off the Mushroom Hunting color way from Dragonfly Fibers. The Primavera pattern is the perfect mixture of interesting pattern and simple knitting.

Of course I've cast on some more socks. Once I finished the Swedish Fish socks, I allowed myself to cast on another color work pattern: Roll The Bones. What's funny is that I'd looked at the pattern so frequently that Connor thought I had already knit it. It's an involved pattern, so I anticipate knitting these for awhile.
Orange is Baah! La Jolla in California Poppy. White is Tosh Sock in Filtered Light.

I also cast on new car knitting after finishing up the Primavera socks. This pair is called By The Seine River. It was written for a 72 stitch count, but I've modded it to a 63 stitch count. The pattern came out better at 63 rather than my usual 64 stitches.
Nox Yarn in the She's Filled With Secrets color way.

Does anyone else have a pattern that they have looked at so often that they might as well have knit it by now?

These came out great! I should check out that primavera pattern. I feel that way about almost all of hunter hammerson's sock designs. I love them all, I bought them all, I have not actually finish them. They're all a little more fiddly than I tend to have patience for with socks and then they languish. :( But they're so lovely!

The Swedish Fish came out great! Right now I am mostly just doing self striped socks, easy peasy..

Look at the way my friend Wesley Virgin's tale starts with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.

You see, Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he found hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" tactics that the government and others used to obtain whatever they want.

As it turns out, these are the exact same SECRETS many celebrities (notably those who "come out of nothing") and top business people used to become rich and successful.

You've heard that you utilize only 10% of your brain.

Mostly, that's because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNTAPPED.

Maybe this conversation has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head 7 years back, while driving a non-registered, beat-up bucket of a car without a driver's license and in his bank account.

"I'm so fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I become successful?"

You took part in those types of conversations, isn't it so?

Your own success story is waiting to happen. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
