Who likes short shorts...

I mean socks....
I do! I do!

I was having a bit of an A.D.D. weekend, and I couldn't seem to focus on any one thing. I couldn't even bring myself to touch my cardi. But I did manage a few more squares on the sockghan. And, as you can see from above, I managed to kick some Second Sock Syndrome butt, and finished my second sock!

And... I'm never knitting full length socks again!... at least for myself. I love ankle socks.. when I buy socks at the store, I buy ankle socks, so why in the heck am I knitting long socks? (Although I have to admit, I do have a bit of a penchant for knee socks, but I don't think I'm ready for that yet).

And the best part is... they only used one ball of yarn (200 m) with just a little left over (The yarn is Fabel in Dark Red/Bourgogne Mix.. someone asked me that before and I never answered) .. which means....
... more yarn from the sockghan. The golden ball is leftover from Mom's shawl ) and she generously donated it to the cause.

It's a really long work week (hours wise) this week, so I'm likely only to knit more squares on the sockghan... and pay attention to the cats. They demand extra love when I'm only home a few hours each day.

Very cute - and I agree - I like making ankle socks too!
