Regia SilkSeriously…could this pair of socks be any more boring?

 Regia Silk, which is lovely yarn.  However…I decided that I’d try size 0 dpns, which is making a nice, dense fabric.  And since they’re for Mike, it’s plain, boring stockinette.

 So…endless endless endless knitting.  Movie knitting, if there was anything I wanted to see.  Which is unlikely - been in a depressive slump lately.  So the fact that these socks are even progressing is rather surprising.

 Every time I knit a pair of socks for him, too, I go through the "That’s got to be way too big" thing.  Seriously - they always look huge.  Then I go hunt down another pair of socks I’ve knit for him, that he swears are just perfect, and they match.

 But there you go.  No thinking knitting.  Except for when I stab myself in the hand with the DPN, because they’re a bit longer than the ones I’m used to.  But then…I never claimed to the world’s most graceful knitter.

 Oh, and Adamas got restarted as well.  Is it sad that I put a lifeline in halfway through the starting chart?  One of the end rows always gets me screwed up, and I’m tired of screwing the whole thing up trying to tink it.
