Socks for who?

I finally started my first sock. I forked out the $10 bucks for a skein of sock yarn to do a pair and I must say, that the willingness to spend $10 bucks on 1 potential pair of socks is a stark contrast to my ruthlessly frugal nature. I suppose that it shows how much I am enjoying knitting now that i have gotten going. Of course it does mean that i have started yet another new project when i have a pile of unfinished as it is. I was showing my dh my first inch of potential foot warmth last night and he looked puzzled. He asked me, "Did you finish your hat?" How little he knows about true knitters:)
