It's a great pattern, so good that I haven't suffered from second sock syndrome at all. I would be all steam ahead, except that something else is looming.
I bought the Peacock Feathers Shawl from Fiddlesticks Knitting. I'm planning on using Jaggerspun yarn, Zephyr in the Peacock colorway. I've knitted the gauge suggested in the pattern using US size 3 needles. This is, once again, smaller than the suggested needle size -- I knit looser than the usual knitter. I had to order circular needles to begin the project. My handy dandy interchangables from Knitpicks doesn't go smaller than size US 4.

So, this new project may distract me from the Potamtomus socks. Maybe I'll be able to work on them both at the same time?
