Here's Unst from a few days ago. As of last night, I'm almost finished with the gussets on sock #1 and I'm thinking that the yarn and the pattern aren't doing each other any favors. I love the pattern...but I'm thinking the yarn I'm using (Trekking XXL in green/purple/navy-white/yellow) isn't the right yarn for this sock. And I like the yarn...where its just being non-lacy-stockinette the striping pattern is showing off quite nicely. So now what has crept into the back of my mind is "Should I rip it?" Well, as all knitters learn, once that thought creeps in, it only gets stronger. So the question becomes....when will I rip it and not if. :-( How sad. Dang it anyway. Now I have to find a solid or tweed...tweed would be ok...sock yarn for this project. And find a simpler project for this Trekking. :-( I guess tonight at the weekly SnB I'll be frogging....followed by swatching...and then casting on yet again for UNST with,perhaps, some Lana Grossa Meilenweit Tweed.

I'm sorry I missed last night. I was annoyed at several issues (both schoola and non-school). I didn't want to come in where I didn't feel like knitting and annoyed.
Maybe next week things will get better.
As for lace, personally I like solid color for any lace the best, but I've seen lace where they include stripe and sort of dyed in some places. They will turn out gorgeous sometimes
