It's Probably Nothing...

 ...but I haven't really decided yet.  

I started this sock at the first of the year because I didn't have a pair of socks on the needles.  The plan was to use this yarn (Madelinetosh Twist Light in Confetti Bomb) for a pair of top down Scatterby socks. The pattern is written as toe up, so I'd essentially be plugging the stitch pattern into my own basic vanilla sock pattern.  This is as far as I've gotten - the ribbing and one repeat of the stitch pattern.

The problem is that I'm not sure I'm feeling this yarn and pattern combination, and (this might be the most important part of the issue) I'm not really working on socks right now.  I like to knit socks while I watch sports.  I watch two sports:  Texas A&M Football and Formula One Racing.  Football season doesn't start up again until August and the 2026 season of Formula One doesn't begin until March.  There are a couple of practice sessions in February, but no racing until the first weekend of March.  

My knitting has been focused on my Austin Hoodie and finishing a couple of shawls I started last year.  I've run out of yarn on one of them, so I'm waiting for a restock so I can get more, and I've got to figure out where I'm at on the other one and how to get going (this is a job for a quiet afternoon).  I just don't need a sock in the current rotation.  

So my dilemma (if it can even be called that), is do I frog the sock and set it all aside until we get closer to when I'm actually going to be knitting it, or do I just set it aside as it is now, leaving it in progress, and see how I feel when I'm ready to knit socks again?

I'm happy for any thoughts you might have on the matter if you'd like to share them in the comments!
