My brother called me last month right after my mom did and asked me to knit him up some black cotton socks. I told him sure, I can do that and off I went to look for some Black cotton sock yarn at Simply Socks Yarn Company.
I found a Charcoal Sock yarn that Lang Jawoll made and ordered 2 skeins. When the yarn arrived, I pulled out the first skein and started casting on for his socks. That was on August 9th. I got half way down the leg and pulled out the second skein to start knitting on the mate and realized that the colors didn't match. One skein was grey and the other was black. So off I went to order another skein of black and then went back to knitting on the first sock.
When the second skein arrived 3 days later I took it out and it matched. Yeah! I was able to start knitting on the mate. I was already on the foot of the first sock. I had to play catch up with this sock so's that they would match in length.
Last night I finished the first sock and this morning while I was at Starbucks, with the Yuma Yarnies Group. I managed to finished the mate. Now I just need to wash, block, wrap, and ship them to my brother.
