On a hot summer day with the top down on my convertible, I came to a stoplight. I picked up my knitting, using this time wisely, I started to knit. A trucker in the next lane said "HEY LADY, the light is going to turn green and you are going to hold up traffic!!" I politely responded "RELAX!!! This is a 6 STITCH LIGHT!" Then I raced to the next light hoping to catch another red!
My friend shared this tip with me to avoid second sock syndrome. You need two sets of dp needles in the same size. You cast on one sock and then the other (one on each set). You knit step one on one sock, and then the other. You knit step two on one sock and then the other. And on and on. This way, you are at the same point on both socks instead of having one sock done and having to start completely over again. It's a dirty mind trick but I tried it and it worked. Hopefully that made sense.

Yay, well done on finishing a pair(!!) of socks. I've got a second sock on my needles right now...
I just started a new pair....hopefully it won't take another year to finish them!!
I saw your post on the Ravelry geocaching group.
