Desperate

to knit a pair of socks!
Unfortunately i have so many yarns and patterns that i want to knit and i don't have access to my own computer to find the patterns i want to knit that i am going crazy and knitting the world's longest gauge swatch *lol*
I have also discovered that i knit MUCH much looser on Addi turbos! 2mm 5xDPN 10 stitches to an inch compared to 7 stitches to an inch with 2xAddi 2mm! Shocking! Of course this means that my next pair HAVE to be knit with DPNs just to stop me going mad with 2mm needles! I can use 2.5 or 2.75 for once!
Right,i need to bite the bullet and choose a yarn and a pattern and get cast on! I think it's going to beeeeeeeeeee the orange striping Lana Grossa that Agnes sent me, it's 6ply too so it'll whip up niiiiiiiice and quick :oD I found a nice slip stitch pattern that wil work well with the stripes too.... i think! :oD
