good-natured ribbing

Several of you asked if I actually did find the yarn store after being led astray by the attractive YarnWorld mirage. One person even sent me this word play which may help to explain my lapse:

   TAI KWON DO
   TAI KWONDO
   TAIKWONDO
   TARKWONLO
   YARKWONLD
   YARNWORLD
   YARN WORLD
   YARL WORND
   YORL BORND
   YOUR BLRND
   YOU R BLIND

Or maybe not.

But, yes, I did find the Knit A Round Yarn Shop on Plymouth Road. While it wasn’t the size of a yarn “world,” it did have some good sock yarn. So I had to buy some.

I now have enough sock yarn on hand to knit 26 pairs of socks, so I have to knit a sock a week for a year before I’ll allow myself to buy any more. Yeah, right. Anyway, after I finish my sockapalooza socks, here’s the sock I intend to start:

This is the “Gentleman’s Sock” from Nancy Bush’s Knitting Vintage Socks. It uses the Railway Stitch to create a waffle-y texture.
