Why I am not The Yarn Harlot

Well, for one reason, she is Canadian. I am not . I have been to Canada and may conceivably move there someday. But, for now, I am by birth a Vermonter, which is as close to Canadian as a US citizen could be, but anyway, not Canadian. Secondly, she is younger than me, yes, we share the same birth year but she is younger. Third, although we both have three children, my set is mixed, she has three girls...but, the main reason why I am not The Yarn Harlot? I HATE knitting socks. Hate it.
I thought about this yesterday as I frogged the half completed sock I was making my husband for Father's Day. 2007.
The yarn is lovely, it is a silk blend, he is a good man, he wholeheartedly supports this VERY expensive habit of mine, he deserves hand knit socks. Folks, I do not think it is going to happen.
I have knit two socks. Not a pair, two different socks from different yarns and patterns.
I love the magic of the turned heel, I love the wonder of hand dyed sock yarn. What kills me is the knitting of the same thing twice.
I have one last item in my sock arsenal, one thing I have not tried. Last summer, while in Vermont, I picked up Socks Soar on Circular Needles by the most creative and clever Cat Bordhi. I am going to give her method a shot.
Anyone out there have any advice?
