I feel like I am a wee bit late to the party, but I finally have the information for my first victim! I dug out the needles and yarn and the pattern and cast on last night for catlizard's socks.
Unfortunately, I think I am going to be restarting them tomorrow due to cast on tightness and the sad small size 4 circulars that were the only needles I seemed able to find to cast on with.
Piffle.
But at least one of the yarns in my stash worked (because none of the ones I bought did). Needle purchase tomorrow, hat finished tonight? Stash diving once I get home (maybe I will find a lucky set of double points that will solve my problem for all time!), and a low-effort evening. Maybe I will not even look at my Perplexcity cards in favor of yarn!
