I started a pair of socks today, mainly because all of my other projects are either complicated, large, or both. Sometimes you just want to knit something easy that you don't have to think too much about and can get done fast.

So I started the Kick in the Pants sock pattern using Centripetal Acceleration from String Theory Colorworks; it's a fuchsia, lilac, fuchsia, turquoise self-striping yarn that yields equal sized stripes. I have it the Tachyon yarn base, which is a superwash Blue-Faced Leicester yarn. I have a matching mini-skein for cuffs, heels, and toes -- a bright fuchsia in Photon, a yarn that is superwash merino, nylon, and stellina (sparkles!)

A large ball of pink, blue, and lilac yarn, a smaller ball of sparkly pink yarn, and a small segment of knitting the in pink sparkly yarn

After about 2 hours of knitting, I have a good start on the first sock. I'd forgotten how fun sock-knitting can be.
