I'm knitting Monkey socks in the FA merino sock yarn for my BFF. Originally I was making these for her but decided she really needed a pair of more vibrant socks (or, I really needed an excuse to buy more sock yarn). The autumn colorway is appropriately va-va-va-voom, and as a bonus, the yarn is covered in cat hair. More natural fibers for everyone! As soon as I untied the knots that held the skein together, the whole thing immediately tangled, and it was over before even a full revolution of winding could be made. It's amazing really, how a project can be so hopeless before it even starts. Only for the sheer love for my BFF could I have willingly spent three terrible hours untangling and winding. And out of sheer frustration during the three hours did I let the yarn drag itself all over the couch and the floor, picking up all that cat hair like a magnet. Oh those cats. How they shed.
