Woolgathering

Literally.


I'm beginning to wonder what my over-active brain has gotten me into.  This is the beginning of a sock that has been taking shape in my imagination.  But, it's much easier to knit in my mind.  I have four cables (one on each needle) opening into diamonds which are filled with color.  This means a combination of intarsia and stranded knitting. 

It's taking longer to untangle the five strands than it is to actually knit. And I'm only halfway through the first diamond section.  For some reason, the leftover sock yarns that I chose were both single ply and they stick together like mad.  Yikes!  But I have a vision and I'll soldier on.

    Your design sounds wonderful, like something another being would deem too complicated or even impossible.
