waffles, anyone?
This is what I did this weekend–I made a sock! Because I am a hermit and didn’t want to do ANYthing else. Actually, the weather reports were predicting a winter storm warning but we did not get any snow. Flurries briefly, but no winter storm! At any rate, I hunkered down and literally came out of my room no more than three times all day Saturday. And that was just to play with my dogs and eat a couple meals. Then I retreated to the knitting cave.
This pattern is fantastically simple and ridiculously quick when knit in sportweight yarn. However, I ran into some trouble at the gusset and had to tink/rip and fix it. It worked out, but I’m not sure if the pattern is unclear, or my brain is just wonkity. 
Shouldn’t take too long to knit the mate!

I’m so terrible. I read your blog but never comment. this year I resolve to be better about commenting everywhere — LJ, blogs, ravelry, etc.

hmm I’m tempted to knit something like this out of the yarn I dyed (that twist kind)… but it really doesn’t feel worsted to me at all… or even sport. in fact, I swatched it up on 1’s and got 7sts to the inch, and it was a good fabric! hmm…
your waffle socks look nice and cozy! did you finish the mate yet? I can’t remember.

Krissy: that’s ok, I’m kind of bad at commenting on blogs too!
Tammy: I agree!
Amy: thanks!
kc: good for you for swatching! I probably would have crossed my fingers and used it as worsted. I’ve cast on the second but haven’t finished yet due to time issues.
