Hmmmm . . .

What does this:



have in common with this:


???????????????????

Well, together they make up this:



Pretty drastic example of sock yarn gone potentially bad.

The cuff seems to be striping in this mock cable stitch pattern I'm using.

But when I got to the stockinette foot, forget it! It's pooling, BIG time!

I suppose it might drive some folks crazy.

I've decided I like it.

Also, I have entered the extremely tedious "ruffle" section of my second Citron shawlette and it occurs to me I haven't shown you the color. It's blue. BRIGHT blue.



Apparently I don't have too many problems knitting the shawlettes. It's the blocking that is tripping me up. (So far there are two in the queue ahead of this one!)

Happy Knitting!

I like the sock foot. It's kinda funky. :)

Jenn is right! That is one funky sock! I like it!
I thought maybe the first picture was a sweater and you were desperate for yarn and unraveled it to knit the item in the next pic.

I'm so glad you like the pooling. It's no fun to rip out a sock you've put a lot of time into because the pooling is driving you crazy!

Pooling is such a bugger. Dang it. But good for you for liking it anyway. :)
