Socks on the Brain { 4KCBWDAY2 }

Today's prompt involves researching a pattern or project that embodies our house.  As I said yesterday, I find myself relating to The House of Bee with an ever growing queue.  Recently I've been adding a bunch of sock patterns to the old queue.  Even though I have yet to finish my first pair I want to be a sock knitter.  They seem like they are fun bring anywhere projects and I want to learn how to make different heels and different constructions.  

Socks are perfect bee projects because they can (so I've been told) be easily turned out and there are so many different ways to make them. You could make them from the toe up or from the cuff down.  If you really want to make the most out of sock knitting you can even due two at once and if that isn't the epitome of bees I don't know what is.  If you want something simple you can make an easy vanilla sock from memory.  If you want something more complicated you can make a lace pattern or a cable pattern.  Not only are they pretty but they are practical too.  

One of these days I will be a true sock knitter.  I definitely have enough sock yarn lined up to become some awesome socks.
