I have the exact same problem with knitting my commuting socks at home. It really is born of laziness, so I do want to have more self-discipline about that. I’d get a lot more sweaters done if I didn’t spend my quality knitting time zoning out with tiny circular stockinette!

I’m going to take inspiration from your post and rededicate myself to my efforts.

YAY! you like the yarn. I happy to see that it’s knitting up nicely with no horrible pooling.

hee hee, I have a commute sock on the go all the time and feel bad because I usually ignore it and read my book during my commute instead, the opposite problem to yours!

My tapas is/are? devoted to drinking less, eating at least twice a day, listening to all the albums on my ipod in alphabetical order (started in september and only at P at this point) and trying to remember to go to bed (editors note: she writes this last statement at 11:30pm). Love ya.

Tapas? I thought that was food. I love green knitting. BTW – what did you think of Spigolo?

Stockinette socks rule – so mindless, so soothing. The green looks great. Thanks for being part of the very informal knitalong! :)

it definitely is nice to have an on-the-go project! and with all the commuting time we do in NYC, i’m sure they’ll be done in no time :)

My first pair of socks were stockinette, they were so great and portable. No pattern to think about, no charts just easy stockinette, it was very meditative actually. I should start a pair of stockinette socks for my lunch break! In any case, yes, stick with your plan and only knit those deliciously green socks on your commute; and at home, knit the other thing!

I have one of those socks going too but I’m REALLY having a hard time now because I only have a teensy bit to go on the second. Probably best to just be done with it and start a new pair!

I’ve attempted soemthing similair to the commuter sock–it usually fails! But I think you’ll have the fortitude and strength to resist all at home knitting. There’s something very relaxing about a simple stockinette sock. I’m turning the heel of a fussy sock today and I am so ready to start a simple sock next–then on to my Anastasia’s…I swear! I want to knit those so bad! :-)
