Started Gary's socks but had to frogged them and start again with smaller needles. That's what I get for tweaking patterns. This is a self striping yarn too. Hope I can do as well on this pair matching the stripes as I did on my blue ones. I do love the center pull skein of yarn that I wound on Kelli's ball winder. I can't wait to get mine! The yarn comes out of the bag I made easily. I still think I will put interfacing on the next bag though.
