I am pleased to say that sock 1 for June 12 in 2012 Challenge is complete and sock 2 is just past the ribbing. I spent some time Friday and Saturday in the passenger seat so I got lots of knitting done on sock 1. Early Saturday morning, I decided to finish it and cast on sock 2. Poor thing hasn't been touched until today when I took it out of the bag for the picture.
I decided it would be fun to show what is in my to go bag. Since I switched over to the long circular needle, I don't have my 7" DPNs to measure with so I put in this cute little blue tape measure. It has already come in quite handy! A knitter needs the emery board, markers and scissors. I like the Fiskar school scissors for my projects bag--cheap, sharp and small--and my short DPNs for when I reach the toes.
I haven't spent much time watching tv in the evenings this week. I have been in the sewing room instead or just to darn tired to pick up the needles. I did make a little progress on these but not much. I am finding them not very exciting and I really, really want to start the August pair. I keep telling myself I will work on these for a while before I work on the others.... Do you make deals with yourself? I already have the yarn and needles waiting........I just need to decide on which new technique or pattern to use with the new pair.

My knitting bag has nearly the same tools, but I also keep a small crochet hook for picking up dropped stitches
Love the socks and the love hate relationship you have with each pair! hahaha And yes, I make deals with myself...sometimes I win, sometimes not. :-)
