I usually hate knitting with cotton but I came by some elasticized, undyed, unbleached cotton the other day, and decided that I had many, many purposes for it and that it would be delightful to knit into something equally delightful.

It hasn't been the sheer torture that I remember from the last time I decided to undertake a project in cotton, so I'm glad for that. Sections have been tedious, but I've found that a bit of talc helps things glide a bit smoother. I knit tightly and cotton seems to have as much a problem with that as acrylic does.

Either way, my first project with this elasticized, unbleached, undyed cotton is a pair of knee high socks. I'll finish the first one either later this evening or tomorrow morning, and I'm very pleased with it so far and can't wait to try it on. I've got the perfect dress to wear them with!
