Study Sock

I might not be able to knit anything while studying Statistics, but I can crank out a sock while reviewing Microeconomic Game Theory.

What I adore about the Vesper Self Striping Sock Yarn is how the knitting flies with each color change.

Let's face it ~ a plain old sock can be plain old boring to knit.  But with this yarn, every now and then I'd look up from my Nash Equilibrium problem and be all, Green!  Dark Green! White!  Whoot!

What I don't  love about this yarn is the random pink splotches.  You can't see them very well in these photos.  Thus, it's extremely dubious that anyone would notice them when the socks are way down there on my feet (and probably inside shoes).   I'm sure this wouldn't bother anyone else in the world but me.

If you squint at the 3rd and 4th blurry stripe from the left, on the photo just above, you might catch a glimpse.  It looks like a kid with sticky red Kool-Aid fingers played with this yarn.  It only annoys me for a minute, though, before I reach another stripe color and go Green!

I'll try to cast on for the second this weekend.  I think Sock 2 will make a great Foundations of Finance study buddy.
