No Socks for Me
First things first, second things never.

I don't think anything like this has ever happened before. I had no socks on the needles. Exactly zero pairs. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Not a one. Not even in the deepest darkest UFO pile.
Monkeys, done. Jaywalkers, done (photo coming soon). Cablenet, frogged. And somehow I ended up at this dark lonely no-sock place. Even my plans to cast on for my Hogwarts Year 2 swap were stalled when I realized that my swapee has many allergies and the tweedy yarn I had planned would just not do.So I did what any knitter would do. I put off my studying, editing my paper, and even eating dinner until I sat down and ordered some new yarn for the Hogwarts Swap. After dinner my head was clearer and I realized that I had a stash yarn that would work perfectly for my pal, and cast on immediately.
What a relief. It has never happened before. And it shouldn't happen since.

I'm so glad you're OK! I would hate to think what could happen if you went too long without a sock!
Whew, that was close! Must keep the sock count going! ;)
Maybe it's my fault. I usually have zero socks on the needles, or a half finished one tossed aside somewhere. Currently I have - gasp - 2 pairs in progress.
Yikes, what a crisis!! I would have been more than happy to send you one of my unfinished pairs. ;) Good thing you were able to rectify the problem before we all started sending you half knit socks. LOL
Well, thank goodness you've righted that wrong! ;) I know what you mean though- I recently felt something was missing from my life and I determined it was that I wasn't working on any socks. It's all good now. ;)
A close call, very scary! But you managed! :)
Whew, the universe can return to its natural order!
whew! Glad the crisis was averted!
So relieved that you are no longer in the Dark Place...
Glad you didn't have to wait for the yarn to be delivered. Don't know if you could have made it that long.
I was in the no sock place for a while and then somehow 3 socks got started (of you don't count the mateless Pomatomus--which I am just sort of couting for a loss right now). Crisis averted.
Greetings fellow Dish Rag Tagger and sock obsessed knitter. Found your blog looking for the Knitting Cook...hmmm, love your blog btw. I am actually working on a pair of Monkeys right now. I'm amazed you quoted Shirley Conran, she is somehow related to me (Conran being my maiden name) and I've never seen her quoted anywhere before. Nice to meet you, good luck to your Tag team, nyah! ha ha ha
