Man, that's one clever title

I was reading my 'daily reads' here in blogland, and in doing so I found out the the author of my of my favorite books passed away. Madeleine L'Engle, the author of A Winkle In Time, along with many other books. I don't know how many times I read that book, but it was wonderful.

As for the sock I posted about yesterday, it's a little too small. It's wearable, but the heel sits just a little too far down on my heel. I think I could rip back on the toe, and make it longer. I think that would fix the problem. I'm just not sure. Anyone have any advice? Other than that small issue, I love it. It turned out beautifully! I want to start on the next one, but have the urge to start something new...but I really need to resist temptation, and at least finish something else that's on the needles. I have three balls of Classic Elite Dazzle that was a birthday gift from my grandmother. She gave me a hand-written pattern for a shrug. It's just knit in garter stich 54 sts across (can't remember how many inches), and then as long as you want it. Once it's all done, you sew it up length wise leaving an opening in the middle.

I REALLY want to knit the Tangled Yoke Cardigan. I would like the buy the suggested yarn, Rowan Felted Tweed, but I'm not sure if I want to spend that much money. I'm looking for a good alternative.
