			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I tried really hard to resist this, but last night I started working on a pair of socks. I am currently about halfway done with knitting Temptation II, and I really shouldn&#8217;t start a new project. Except, the sweater is a commute exclusive project. So starting an at home one must be ok, right?</p>
<p><a title="Photo Sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chaiamrge/167385493/"><img height="104" alt="Crazed Weasel yarn" src="http://static.flickr.com/49/167385493_6b1114312a_m.jpg" width="240" align="right" /></a> I&#8217;ve never knit socks before so I did some searching for a pattern. I&#8217;m using my Dye-O-Rama Yarn from Liz. She said the stripes work well with a 60 stitch round. So when I came across <a href="http://www.wendyjohnson.net/blog/sockpattern.htm">Wendy&#8217;s Toe-Up Sock pattern</a> I was all like SCORE! So I cast on and got going and 2 rows in I got confused, very confused. I&#8217;ve never really done short rows, and I knew that I had to be slipping more and knitting less, but I couldn&#8217;t understand how that works. So I searched and read and searched and read. And finally I came across <a href="http://micaknits.blogspot.com/2006/01/photo-intensive-short-row-toe-tutorial.html">this tutorial</a>. So I basically ignored the instructions, which I think are not very clearly written for an &#8220;easy&#8221; pattern, and followed the <a href="http://micaknits.blogspot.com/2006/01/photo-intensive-short-row-toe-tutorial.html">Coffee Crazy instructions</a>. So right now I&#8217;m done with the first toe. I just need to put my provisional cast on stitches back on the needle.</p>
