Inexplicable Knitter Behaviour in St. Petersburg

I decided to join in the Inexplicable Knitter Behaviour scavenger hunt even though I'm far from Toronto. Thankfully the Yarn Harlot opened the Freestyle section to anyone who cares to participate (I do loves me a scavenger hunt). I added these photos to the Flickr group.

Here is my Pomatomus in progress at the World's Largest Shuffleboard Club. "In progress" is a generous term - the sock has looked exactly like this for 6 months. I love the yarn (Fleece Artist Sea Wool). I love the way the pattern looks. But knitting the pattern, em... not so much.
