Lacy Socks

As much as I love the entrelac patterned scarf I'm working on, I am hating the lacy socks. Ugh! First of all, I hate the cast on, I like toe up socks and I usually use a figure eight cast on. This is a Tunisian cast on. Whereas I appreciate their struggle for democracy, I do not like their cast on. Too tight. Too hard. The pattern itself has errors. If the last round requires a YO on the last stitch and the next round requires a YO as the first stitch, There's going to be a ginourmous h*** in that spot. Ugh. I am soldiering on. I finished one sock. I am determined to finish the other! At least I love the color, they're green!

I'll block them, and I should have them up by tomorrow. I am working on much plainer socks for my husband. Plainer, but bigger!

For me the tiny needles needed to knit socks tend to hurt my hands and it feels like they take forever to finish. I type a lot for work and have trouble w/ my hands when I get too busy, so I have decided socks aren't for me. oh, well...
