Socks- I love 'em. These will be b-day socks for my Auntie if I get them done in time. Don't worry sockless mama- we'll get sock yarn when I'm there and you can pick it out and have some for your b-day too. Sock yarn in tangles- how I hate it. When I learn the magic trick of not tangled sock yarn, I will be a virtual sock making machine. Until then they come here and there when I have enough patience to untangle as much as or sometimes more than I knit. (the pictured tangle isn't the worst of it- the really bad one met an ugly end.)

Yow! That's a rat's nest. I get B to fix those. He has thing where he likes to untangle stuff.
I hate tangles. Comes from when I was a little girl and my mom made me wear my hair long. Every few weeks, we'd have a marathon detangling session with lots of pulling and screaming. Funny--that's pretty much how a handle yarn tangles, too. For sock yarn, I find it's easier to re-wind the ball on my ball-winder before I start knitting. I don't know how they wind them at the factory, but the center is always an impenetrable rat's nest. Love those colors, by the way!
