Knit bit

I'm in the mood for construction, not destruction, so the inevitable frogging of my second green sock is on hold. It's a job that needs to be done, but with my evenings being full enough already, I'd rather take the time to feel like I'm accomplishing something. So out come the Knit Picks Essential Tweed in Inca Gold and US 3 dpns, otherwise known as the finest yarn and smallest needles I've attempted to knit with.

It's going a little slowly, but I'm getting there. I left an exceptionally long tail because I couldn't judge how much would be necessary for the cast on. Now that I've knitted a few rows I can feel OK about trimming the tail so it isn't in the way as much. I thought it was best to wait to see if these rows would be good or if I'd need to begin again. I think I'm safe. Fingers crossed.

Shall I relate more knitting details that is as interesting as reading about watching paint dry? I thought I had more to say, but knitting time has been hard to come by this week. Hopefully I'll be back with something more substantive tomorrow.
