The first Primavera sock is almost finished.
But there's a mysterious problem. See that ball? That's all I have left. Now yes, it is a relatively tall sock, but this yarn is supposed to have 575 yards in the skein!!
As I see it, these are the possibilities:
a) This pattern ate up a crazy amount of yarn and that small ball is really all there is left
b) I wound the skein into two separate cakes and then lost one.
I strongly suspect B. Yesterday I cleaned out my fiber closet assuming I'd run into the wayward cake, but no. This moring I hunted and hunted and hunted. No yarn. (well, no green sock yarn. I turned up some other treasures along the way.)
At this point my plan is to finish the sock and set it aside, hoping that the missing yarn will turn up. I'm feeling rather dramatic about the whole thing because I have absolutely loved knitting this first sock and was looking forward to the second, but I don't see what choice I have. (dramatic gesture)
If any of my local knitting buds have seen a brilliantly green cake of yarn wandering around, tell it to come home!
