During my most recent trip to Asheville, I was talked into buying some of Southwest Trading Company’s new sock yarn, TOFUtsie. On the way back I decided to just try out the yarn and I started swatching. I really didn’t like the way it looked and for the next few weeks, I was uninspired to knit anymore until one morning as I was headed for the bus I realized I had nothing to knit as I had decreased down to the grafting on my “Child’s First Sock” from Nancy Bush’s Knitting Vintage Socks.

Here’s a photo of the sock pre-frogging. Photos of its new incarnation coming soon.
