More Knit-Along Socks

Since sariebeth expressed such love for her Jitterbug yarn, I bought some so that I could give it a try, too. Of course that was months ago, but when the Sock Innovation KAL group set December as a Free-for-All month where any Cookie A. sock pattern was eligible I seized the chance. I was too busy to participate in September when this pattern rolled around the first time, but it's the perfect introduction for the traditionally yardage-challenged Jitterbug since the pattern itself includes a modification specifically for a single Jitterbug skein.

Pattern: Angee
Source: Sock Innovation, by Cookie A
Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug in Morello Mash
Needles: US 1½ / 2.5 mm 40″ Addi Lace

I agree the Jitterbug is fun to knit with (not even a hint of splitiness, which is lovely) and I love how sock #1 came out, but I wonder what it will be like to wear. It feels a bit heavy to me, but it's got a tight twist and I've been working with some really fine sock yarns lately so it might just be the comparison to things like Madelinetosh tosh sock that's throwing me off.

And while the first sock is obviously done, I've been distracted by a few other projects lately. Now I just have to make sure I don't get so distracted that I forget to crank out sock #2 before the December 31 deadline. Oh yeah, and somehow take care of all of the Holiday-related and non-knitting things, too!
