Well, I finished a pair of socks that I might remember to take a photo of later.  And I started this.

It's a manly sock for Christmas, on DPNs.  Apparently, it's been too long since I worked on DPNs.  At one point, I was going along, ding fine, and then, while watching a tv show I really get into, I tried to slide my stitches to the cable.  "What cable?"  I hear you ask.  The cable between the points of my circular needle, of course.  What circular needle?  Well, that's the problem.  I kind of just pulled the needle completely out of the stitches.  I did get them all picked backup, but I feel like such a dork.

This is the yarn I wanted Noro Kureyon Sock to be.  The gorgeous gradual color shifts.  The soft squishiness.  The lack of vegetable matter in the yarn.  The lack of "thick and thin"-ness.

This is Patons Kroy Socks FX, and it's half the price of Noro.  And just as gorgeous, in my opinion.  And much easier to work with.  Since these are manly socks for Christmas, I wasn't sure if I would have enough (OK--Noro has better yardage) I decided to make the heels and toes black.  It was a good decision, I think.  I finished up this sock yesterday, and while I might have had enough for the heel, I wouldn't have had enough for both, but now it looks intenional, because it was.
