Drop spinning again! I wore some socks I made ages ago on Saturday, since I had to walk to work as the weather was bad, and that made me miss knitting. (Also, I haven't sewn in ages, I think because it's just too cold for some reason. Does anyone else find themselves not sewing much in the dead of winter?) But then I went looking through Knitty's sock patterns and they were all so cabley and lacy that I was turned off - I want to make sturdy, every-day-wear socks. Eventually I came across these on Canadian Living, but in the end I decided just to go back to the drop spindle as I don't really trust myself to finish a whole pair of socks, tbh. Had to pick out some frass and dead bug bodies and peel away a few strands that had been chewed through, and I think plying with the older stuff on the bobbin is going to be problematic, but I've practically doubled what there is already, so it's not going to be too much of a problem.
