Time for a sock knit!

A few years ago I decided to take a class at the fiber festival each year to give me something totally fun to look forward to. This year I did a class on stranded colorwork that was more of a discussion group on the technique. It was awesome. The instructor showed us her recent purchase which was a set of interchangeable needles that went down to a US size 00. Until then I'd only seen them down to a US size 4. So I put a set in my Amazon wish list and informed my husband that I 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 wanted them for my birthday. I might have implied that bad things would happen to the entire family if I didn't get them.

I also put a couple of other knitting notions in my wish list, but the needle set was the big one. The little colored balls are rubbery point protectors. The set is from ChiaGoo and is their mini lace set that includes 4" tips in sizes 000, 00, 0, 1, and 1.5. It's called the mini set since their cables come in 3 sizes, mini, small, and large. They also have adaptors so that you can use the tips with the small join with their mini cables. I also quietly ordered a few other sizes (2, 2.5, and 3) to round out my tiny interchangeable needles as well as a couple of the cables with the small joins.

Now I just have to decide on a pattern.
