The Dish Ran Away With the Spoon?

Missing! One (completed) sock. This is all that's left--a partially complete (this is an old photo) half of a pair.

Now I'm used to Second Sock Syndrome, but usually that's because, once I finish the first sock, I can't stand to knit the second one. Not the case here.

But to lose one completely? Odd. I haven't seen it since Stitches South and I keep tearing apart bags, thinking it will reappear like the Phoenix. (Hi, there, Fawkes!)

Hmmmm ... and now Ellen tells me that her Zauberball sock is gone too. Maybe they ran off together? Eloped to make little socks somewhere?
