Today's time waster: photographing skeins of sock yarn and putting them up in my stash on Ravelry

I joined Ravelry a while ago, but had never done anything with it. Then yesterday I was putting up some Vera Bradley stuff on Ebay--something else I hadn't done in awhile--and was reminded of my "opal sock" saved search, and then for whatever reason, that reminded me of Ravelry, and I went there. And saw that they were having a "knitting olympics," and that intrigued me, so I went down in the basement to see what sock yarn I would pick if I was going to make a pair of Olympics socks, and that led to the photographing and listing extravaganza.


Right now I'm working on a sock that I started around the 4th of July so that I would have something to knit at the family reunion that weekend. I didn't end up knitting anything--my parents didn't want to stick around after lunch--but I'm about halfway through the first sock. I'd like to finish at least one before I start something else . . . maybe my "Olympic" knitting could be the second sock?

Willa, I love your sock! Which yarn is that and what is the color?
 

It's Fortissima Socka Colori, Color 9506. The color is called "Kirsch - Jeans." I can't remember where I bought it, though. It's been in my stash for a year or so.
