On stashing up on sock yarns and my first toe-up

I'm going through some difficult time right now....but well, all you knitters out there know what to do in such situation. Yup, I found solace in knitting and in YARN!!!!!

Yes, so I had been acquiring sock yarns the whole week....and please note, I said sock yarns. I'm still on my StAL 2007 yarn diet....I didn't really put down any rules about sock yarns, but as we all know, sock yarns don't count as yarn, right. ;-p

Anyway, the one in the very middle will be for Project Spectrum April/May, since the colours called for are green, yellow and pink...and as you can see, I again could find sock yarn that is exactly in those colours. Am I just not clever? :-p

Started: 19th February 2007
Finished: WIP
Yarn: Regia Nodic Colour 4-ply sock yarn, colour #5510 "Trondheim"
Needle: 2.5 mm/ US #1/#2 Addi Turbos
Pattern: Universal Toe-up Sock using Magic Cast-On

Now, this was the first sock yarn acquisition from this week...and I had already turned it into a sock. It's the first time I'm doing toe-up and I have to say that I really like how it looks. I think I'll be sticking to this method whenever I can from now on....and maybe I'll be knitting more simple stockinette socks for myself, too....it's just fast and with the universal toe-up sock pattern, the sock fits just perfectly!
