Adventures in Sock Knitting

domtheknight helped me pick out our May/June pick: Wyvern. We're both excited to try toe-up socks, as this will be a first for us. Any words of wisdom, comm, or do we have nothing to fear?

I also have to confess that between finishing my Ph.D., wedding planning, and having a really resilient sinus infection I still haven't finished either of our previous picks. I'm working on it, though. What else could eleven plane flights over the course of my honeymoon be for?

Anyway, yarn thoughts? I was thinking of going with something green but I don't have anything like that in my stash so I have an excuse to visit Weaving Works for their big sale next weekend.

People don't seem to be taking my encouragement to make an introduction post seriously, so I thought I'd make one and people can introduce themselves in the comments.

I'm chemicallace. I am a graduate student who has been knitting on-and-off for about five years. My knitting interests include lace, historical knitting, and science-themed knitting. Saga, my cat, likes to eat wooden knitting needles and assist with my work. My last finished project was a hat with chromosomes on it and my current one is a Christmas stocking.

Who are you? Anything we should know? Cookies?
