Single Sockitis is a dangerous disease that is indeed very contagious and possibly dangerous. Careful! It might infect you, as it has befallen quite nefariously and without warning upon me. Behold, the single socks:
Carolina, Last Queen of Naples from Socktopia, Koigu P 117 (from my Secret Pal Beth of Numerical Knitting), Size 1 needles, Modeled on my wicked-looking high-arched foot
For my Sockapalooza Pal a Pattern of My Own, Koigu P206 (from my Sockret Pal Hope of Procrastiknitter), Size 2 needles, Modeled on E. Zimmerman's Knitter's Almanac
And the incipient symptoms of further infection of Single Sockitis (not the cat, but the yarn--Cascade Fixation and Koigu):
Be aware! Watch out for the warning symptoms: trolling Ebay for more sock yarn when you already have plenty (and then buying it!), surfing the 'net for patterns, constant loss and re-discovery of needles and stitch markers, casting on multiple socks but not in pairs.
Perhaps a cure for Single Sockitis could be found by a quick dunk in cold, chlorinated water? If so, then perhaps Single Sockitis could simply be termed a hot weather disease? I could and would let you know, if the following weren't the case with the damn local pool (currently undergoing *%#&*#& refurbishment--AARGH!):
It is simply fracking incredibly hot up here in Big Creek. Brlah! I shall just have to knit another sock with this pattern--Socktopia's Eleanor--to distract myself!
you are hilarious! I haven't started knitting socks at all YET. But I still have some sock yarn stashed. :)

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I have been trying really, really, REALLY hard not to start any more socks until I finish the two I have on the needles. 1 down, 1 pair to go (and it's almost finished) and then you have to go and link to a really cute pattern!!! Why?!?!? Is it because misery loves company?!?! I'm going to walk away, pour another cup of coffee, change a dirty diaper on a reluctant 2 year old and try hard not to think about the super cute sock pattern sitting on my printer!

So far I have avoided the plague... but it hit 100 here today, so I fear I may catch it!
