In the Nick of Time

I did it!  I finished my second Angee sock before March ended.  I cast on and knit the ribbing Sunday night, continued through the week, and bound off about 20 minutes ago - Thursday, March 31st at 10:20-ish PM.  Four days!  One sock in four days.  And I must say, it's a long sock and used two full 50g skeins of Patons Crox FX yarn plus 10 or so grams of a third.  (Thank goodness I was able to pick one up shortly finishing the first sock in the same dye lot.  Plus the yarn went on clearance at Michael's so I wouldn't have been able to get it now.)

I don't mind the mismatched striping, but the toes bug me a little.  One toe striped and the other didn't.  The one that didn't was actually the start of the 3rd skein of yarn and didn't have any striping in that first run of color.

I am now set up to cast on tomorrow for my April socks!  Although I have an Usborne book fair on Saturday and need to be prepped and packed up by tomorrow night to leave the house around 7:00 AM on Saturday.  I'm determined to get all of book fair stuff ready to go before casting on more socks.  The only question is...
Can I resist???
