Get Those Socks Finished

I belong to a sock club and have received three of the six club shipments. However, I'm still working on the first shipment I received.

My reasons for not starting this particular month's shipment sooner has to do with the intimidation I felt when I saw the beads included in my package. Then to top things off there were charts detailing what looked like complex cables. I had only worked on one project that had cable - it was a scarf. Cables on socks. . .SCARY! Like I said, I was intimidated.

Then, back in April I took the bull by the horns. I strung the beads and attacked what I perceived to be a difficult pattern. It wasn't hard at all. Then I got to a part in the pattern that looked hard so I put the sock down and started a new pair.

Every time I looked at that half completed sock it taunted me. However, it wasn't the part of the pattern I perceived to be difficult that taunted me. It was the beautiful colorway of the yarn. Every time I saw it I thought about how nice it will look in my SYB. Now don't get me wrong, I want to have a beautiful pair of socks as well, but I have to admit I'm also looking forward to having leftover yarn that I can incorporate into my SYB. I will even have some leftover beads to use as well. . . it will look fantastic!
