I finished the Seaweed Socks!
I love this pattern because it looks like it is cabled, but it's not! Wendy sure does come up with some great patterns.
Also, if you can believe it, I've been working on the Collared Tee. I would so like to finish it and Hey Teach before starting another big project. Oh - and there's Swallowtail too. I can't forget about that purpley goodness..... It may take me months, but I do go back to my forgotten WIPs, most of the time.
With the Collared Tee, the sleeves and collar part are reverse stockinette stitch. I must admit I was not all excited about purling in the round. Then, the light bulb went off in my head (this does happen occasionally) and I figured why couldn't I just turn the thing inside out and do stockinette instead? Duh!!
The purling looks a lot nicer on the right side, too. These sleeves and the collar are going to be turned down on the wrong side and hemmed in (or something like that....) No use reading the directions ahead of time, right? he he he Where would the fun be in that??
I'm really looking forward to seeing the Collared Tee finished.

Great color!
I agree with you. Reading ahead just takes the surprise out of how the pattern ends. ;^)

LOL, how come it took you some time to figure out you didn't have to purl in the round. Excuse me for laughing, I did that too and thought it was only me, I was a little embarrassed. Now I feel kind of vindicated! LOL
