Life's too short.

About the socks: I agree with you Jeanne, I seem to recall a few washes not really helping the other "solo" sock I have in this yarn or else I would have a pair and I know I don't. I have some really nice stuff in my closet and I just bought more, there's no reason to twitter over making another scratchy sock! I'll use the rest of the yarn for cat toys or something (anybody want it?). I think I still have a couple more skeins of this stuff that I should put up on Rav to trade or sell. There's an Opal Group there that has over 450 members so somebody should want it!!! I can't understand their luv, but we all have our own opinions on things and I respect their choice to appreciate it in a way I can't.

I've been trying to start a beret for my sister in law but keep doing other things instead. I guess it's because it calls for a "tubular cast-on" and I don't really want to do it (cause I don't know how). Lately I've had the "fuzzy mind" issue going on, it's too much to think about no matter how easy it is. I guess I should at least watch the video again...maybe it'll just "click" all of a sudden.

To be or not to be...

That's my question.

I just finished one sock out of Regenwald Opal in the Flamingo colorway and I can't decide if I want to work up the second one. The cast on row is just sitting there waiting for me to decide.

I know from past experience that this yarn knits up like "sandpaper" to me personally. Some yarns improve over time, but this doesn't seem to be one of them for me. I couldn't help it, this colorway grabbed me at a LYS about a year ago and when you're in a hurry things like that can happen. More and more I'm discovering that my yarn purchases are smarter when I take my time and think things over. Being impulsive has it's consequences. The yarn diet has has made me reflect on a lot of things and I'm doing so much better but I still have to deal with the unwise choices from my stash! Oh well, live and learn. It's all good.

I guess I'll give this sock a nice bath to see if it gets any softer before I make up my mind.
