"Wabi-sabi is a beauty of things
imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.
It is a beauty of things modest and humble.
It is a beauty of things unconventional."
Leonard Koren


So I am working on Sock 1 Pair 2. FINALLY.
The yarn is lovely. The needles are microscopically larger than the previous ones... not so much because of gauge considerations as that I didn't have 5 matching dpns that were the same size as previously... and I wanted fewer stitches and a looser tension...

I never like doing the same thing twice, so I decided the main pattern stitch of this pair would be garter rib:

Round 1: Knit
Round 2: K2P2.

Well, I must be related to Pavlov's dogs because every time I go from one DPN to another, I seem to think it is time to start a new Round... which means, I was tinking. A lot.
And this is even WITH the advantage of my handy dandy row counter... which I either set at "00" as in, nothing fancy or "02" as in K2P2.

But-- my hands and brains seem to be disconnected. At least sometimes.... And then there was ALSO a row where I apparently just PURLED... which was an obvious error... and not in Wabi Sabi mode at all... Praise the Flying Spaghetti Monster for crochet hooks and the ability to pick up stitches. If I'd had to tink back the 5 rows that happened before I noticed that blunder... Well, I'd be drinking rather than blogging.
