Second Sock Syndrome?
Sorry for the poor photo, but we’ve all see socks 1/2 way through the gusset decreases, right?
I’m definitely not suffering second sock syndrome this time around. Perhas it is because it is mindless? Perhaps it is because if I head DH make one more reference to the &@&*(#@) plumber’s wife when someone asks him about the handknit socks I’m going to scream?
I’d say probably both, but I think I don’t often suffer second sock syndrome, and often the high from finishing the first sock propells me through the second sock at a much faster pace than the first one progressed. Camo sock seems no different. Here I am, 1/2 way through the gusset decreases on a MAN SIZE sock at 9 st/in gauge after only two days and a little bit of knitting this morning while suffering from allergy related insomnia. Not too shabby if I do say so myself!
I’m afraid the allergies will likely prevent much more knitting progress today. Between staying up until 2am finishing my book (see Culture Catalog for details) because I was afraid of the repercussions of lying down and waking up after 3.5 hours of fitful sleep I don’t think I’m going to be in robo-productive mode as I was yesterday. And, what little energy I have I need to direct towards my on-line classes (there is still time, and even a sale if you’re interested) and I need to get over to the library to return a couple books TODAY!
Wish me luck, and if you have any magical powers over allergies, I’d appreciate the assitance
