One plus One does may equal Two, but does not necessarily make a pair.

To Wit:

One Sock. Started in January.  Abandoned in February.  Restarted in March (last weekend) and finished.

Another Sock. Started in February and finished in early March.

When I went to Texas last month I intended to take my knitting with me.  The blue sock, which is the first half of a pair for G, was just at the point where it was getting fun again, where I was about to start turningthe heel.  I didn't realize that I had left it home until I was already at the airport.  No problem, I thought, I can not knit for 4 days.

Wrong.  Saturday, when we were at mom's old house, which happens to be fairly near The Woolie Ewe, I convinced her that I needed yarn.   I managed to restrain myself and only buy one skein of Noro Silk Garden Sock and a set of size 1 double-points.  Enough to have something should the urge to knit strike.  It did, briefly, although I only knitted about 2 inches during that trip.  

When I got home I was too intrigued by the Noro colors to go back to the blue sock so I continued knitting my own sock.  I am still not getting as much knitting time in the evenings as I did in the hotel, or even back in Hyde Park, but I do manage to get an hour several evenings a week, and sometimes even two.  I discovered  the series Lie to Me on Netflix and I've been watching it when the opportunity arises, and knitting as I watch.  When I finished the Noro sock, I immediately went back and finished G's first sock.  I finished season 1 of the series, and the second sock, last night.  There was just enough time left in the final episode to cast on another sock, and I opted for my pair, using the Noro yarn.  We are set to continue, the sock and I, later tonight.
