Oh, yes, I am giddy with the knowledge that no more do myriad sock projects give me the heebie jeebies, leading to the restraint of one sock on the needles at any given time. I must needs acknowledge this didn't arise by conscious choice. My nature has evolved. Yes, I desired the ...

Ahhh!!! I don't need more yarn!! So why did I just put like eleventy billion different yarns on my Loopy Ewe wishlist? Okay, I've gotta step away from the innerwebs. Now. Pray for me.
