Sock With A Mind

I was on a sock roll tonight so I figured I'd just keep going with it.  So after finishing up Kaity's socks I started working on my CTH socks.  Here's what the second sock looks like next to the first sock.




The second sock started pooling a lot more and didn't stripe like the first one did.  No biggie, I wasn't expecting them to match up considering the varigatedness of the yarn.  I also have a sneaking suspicion that it started pooling the way it did because the ribbing is different then the first sock.  What I don't get is that it is now starting to strip just like the first sock did.  You can see the stripe forming down there next to the needles.  I'm beginning to think this sock has a mind of its own.   I did nothing to alter the stitches to get it to stripe it just started doing it on its own.  This will probably be the pair that jumps out of the drawer and drinks my rum in the middle of the night.  :~)
They are both twisted rib at the top but the first one is wrong because I was wrapping the yarn wrong.  Which is I think part of the reason the sock started pooling more.  You can see the ribbing better if you click on the pic to get the full picture size.   I wasn't thinking about the fact that I was now wrapping correctly so therefore the ribbing was actually going to twist right when I cast on for this sock.  There's 4 inches of sock....there's no way I'm ripping it out.  Plus I don't care that the ribbing looks different.  I'm the only one that sees the top of my socks.  :~)  The twisted rib will be twisted from here on out.
So these socks are definitely fraternal, but I love them.  I'll love them even more when I get them finished because that means I can start another pair for myself....WooHoo!  I have about two inches to go and I can start the heel.  Yippy!

Oh and as a follow up to my Banana Bread post earlier, the recipe worked out good.  It did indeed taste as yummy as it looked.
