When the exams at the end of my first semester were rolling around at frightening speed, I started procrastinating full-time. I watched about half of the ‘Buffy’ all-season DVD collection, and since I can’t just sit and watch people dust vampires on TV (even if it is Buffy) I started a new pair of socks.

Voilà, Los Sockos Procrastinatos.

The panels of linen stitch give the sock an interesting, if unstretchy, texture, and the way the cables run together and enclose the pattern reminds me of old-fashioned spats, just without the fashion faux-pas.

These are a quick, fun knit - easy enough to watch TV by, interesting enough to not make you want to poke your eyes out with your DPNs when you take it somewhere without entertainment.

Hooray for procrastination!
