Not much blog-worthy going on with the knitting. Working on an adorable pair of socks, but I can't post a photo because it's a gift. In fact, I've entered Spring Birthday Season, so there are a couple gift socks in progress. Still in search of the Perfect Sock Pattern, I bought a copy of Stitch Stud's Design Your Own Toe Up Sock tutorial. It involves a lot of math up front to determine circumference, gusset increases, heel base, ankle panels, etc. I'm eager to see if it works.
Meanwhile, I'm working on a new pattern of my own: the Evil Genius Socks. It's the next evolutionary stage of the Yarmando Mash-Up Sock, incorporating the Just Start Knitting toe, the improved You're Putting Me On heel, and some intriguing ideas about calculating the sock length.
Finally, the Wash Sweater is languishing at the point that all my sweaters get stuck at: the body is finished up to the armpits, and it's time to start the sleeves. I hate knitting sleeves. It's like you're knitting socks but without the interesting parts.

OK, Don, so I'm going to have to come up to Columbus sometime this summer and corral you into teaching me how to knit socks. I'll buy you dinner & drinks in exchange. But I'm sick of being able to knit nothing but scarves, and need some help moving on to the next stage.
I'm nervous about adding the sleeves to DH's sweater because I've never really been happy with the last one's sleeve/yolk parts. So I'm obsessively knitting the Clapotis. LOL
