All I think about is knitting this sock. Every second of every minute. Totally obsessed with this sock is what I am. I am losing sleep, skipping church, ignoring my family and contemplating calling in sick to work for this sock. This sock. This sock is taking over my body and mind. I am becoming one with the sock. Do other socks exist? Have there been socks before this sock? Will there be others? Has anyone felt this passion before? Have I? I know how this sounds. Like a flash-in-the-pan romance. A depth of feeling that cannot be sustained for long. But, to tell the truth, I would be nobody without this sock. My will to live would, well, I'd have none. Please, dearest sock, please, never ever leave me.
I can see why you love it!! Great colors!

Ack! That's "they're", not their.

Wow, that is nice. Have you had to do anything to stop it from pooling? Even my Fleece Artist that I loved so much made a nasty pool after I did the heels.

I understand that this reaction to Socks that rock is normal and that purchasing more can take the edge off the desperation.
Just sayin.

It won't leave! And it might just clone itself with a little extra love;-)

It's gorgeous... and I think I see SOME blue... When this one's finished, you'll get to knit another one just like it!! ; )

I can totally understand that. I bet this pair won't take you a year to knit. ;)

I can see why. It's beautiful!

What a lovely little picot edge! My STR pooled and flashed and did all kind of crazy stuff. No pretty little skinny rows like this!

It's a beautiful sock, I can see why you're in love!
It's actually exactly how I'm feeling about my current sock (which IS koigu btw) I want to abandon all othe activities and just knit this sock! I think it's the prettiest sock I ever knit :)
Must be spring, sock love abounds!

You crack me up! I just love the colors! All of the socks that rock are fabulous. I need some advice...which sock pattern would you choose for mindless, traveling knitting? I am going away this weekend and want to bring socks to knit. Thanks! Donna
