Ripping

I've had remarkably bad luck with the sock I started last weekend. Okay, it's not bad luck as much as it is my stupidity, but basically I've frogged the thing several times already.

Oh well. At least it gives me something to do.

I still haven't figured out to do with my three balls of alpaca yarn. As for the yarn leftover from my last pair of socks, I think combined with one or two more colors it'll be enough for a good-sized striped pair of socks. So I'm going to save it for now. All the sock yarn I have right now is the same kind, and most of the colors coordinate nicely with each other, so I'll see what happens after another solid-colored pair or two.

I'm not going to be purchasing any yarn this month either. I'm still unemployed, and I still have enough yarn for several projects. So, I'll going to be very good about limiting non-essential spending. Living solely off of savings is not exactly conducive to the purchase of new crafting materials, after all. I'm just grateful I built up a small stash before I had to leave Mandeville, makes all this spare time a little more bearable. :-P
