In knitting news, I got out the abandoned purple Regia socks from a few months ago, ripped them out (ripped it out), and started again. My block with socks has been not knowing for sure what will fit and what won't, and I hate to waste the yarn, and I hate to rip them out. But if I don't, I'll never know. So I'm forging ahead (and also ordered more sock yarn to try different kinds--Opal and Regia Stretch--and I found some Fortissima Cotton in my stash.
