The List Goes On and On

This summer I made a list of things that I want to do. Things on the list varies from crafting stuff (knitting, scrapbooking, etc.) to other random stuff like beating a video game or organizing my closet. I hope to get most of it done, since I am trying to be realistic and I have other things than just cross stuff off my list to do this summer. I think it is a good way to remember what I want to do, since last year I had things in my head I wanted to do but would then forget about them. Now they are down on a sheet in front of me pushing me towards being motivated.

About the socks that I have been knitting, I don't like them. I want to do something more interesting but this is the only pattern that uses worsted yarn that I know of, and are ankle socks. I am really bugged by the ribbing, it looks bad. It is so big compared to the rest of the sock that it drives me insane! The striping is okay, but you can tell when I change to a new color because it sticks out. These socks are ready to be frogged, and anyway I can use one of the needles for my make-shift cable needle anyways.

Are you knitting in variegated yarn? Or is it different yarns? Cause if you use different coloured yarns you can use the Jogless Jog to make them neater... :)

There's a thread in Teens Knit & Crochet about sock patterns that use worsted. I'll PM you the link.

You could also try a pattern search on Ravelry, like the tag search or the experimental search.
