I went from being afraid of sock yarn to obsessed. How does that happen?

I used to avoid anything less than sport like the plague, now I buy it to knot shawls out of <3

I swore I would never use sport, went to sport and then swore I would stay away from fingering, went to heavy fingering, swore I would stay away from the light stuff, and well you know the story. 
I do double strand my light fingering into a sport weight.

I was the same way, Jennifer. I could never understand why people would want to knit socks. Now that's all I ever knit!

I get blamed for lots of things althought, that one might actually be my fault.

My very first purchase of sock yarn was 5 skeins. My second purchase was 11 skeins.  I think that fingering and sport weight are only about 25% of my stash right now, but I feel that I need more to balance it out. I'm dyeing to knit a nice big shawl out of fingering weight this summer.

That's how I felt too. Wait till you try it though. Now I think all I buy is from fingering to DK. Come on over and join us. Resistance is futile.
