I started a new sock, mainly for two reasons.  First, my eyes needed to take a break from yarn in the blue/purple/green end of the color spectrum.  I wanted to work with some bright shades in my favorite colors:  pink and orange.  This yarn fit that requirement nicely.

The second reason I started a new sock is that I am making this sock for a dear old college roommate.  This dear old college roommate is supposed to send me an outline of her foot so that I can get an idea of how long or short these socks should be.  So, dear old college roommate, I know you’re reading this.  Send me that piece of paper, lady.
