Holy wow

Another swatching miracle: knowing that I'm knitting tightly at the moment, and that I was having problems with not wanting to go into negative needle sizes (all right, well, if they existed, I'd have been there ;)) to get the right gauge for the Socks for Soldiers official sock pattern, I re-swatched just now with the recommended needle size, and I'm within the gauge range (I'm knitting eight stitches per inch on size 1 needles). YAY! Now, to figure out what size I'm supposed to be knitting and get cracking. I've been sitting on this way too long ... with reason, but still. It's always nice to get some projects off my back. ;)
