Socktober!

Socktoberfest is officially upon us, and what better way to kick it off than looking at what's on the needles?


Same old pile of socks. Some progress since last time - the purple sock got to the heel flap this weekend, and the green sock is nearly to it's heel flap too. The green socks had better get done soon - they are for the hubbo's anniversary gift, and our anniversary is next week! Yikes!


And what's waiting to be knit up?


Just over 50 pairs of socks sitting in the stash. Where has all the knitting time gone? Must get busy. Must knit faster.

I'll admit - I pulled a few skeins from the stash in preparations for the festivities. I want to cast on a new pair, but I should finish some first, right?

  2. Pretty pretty pretty!! That scares me, because I'm pretty sure I have more sock yarn than that. *forgets picture and goes back into denial*

  3. Finish an old pair! ("Hello Kettle? This is Pot. You are black.")

    Can I have some of your sock yarn? I am soooo jealous.

  5. What a wonderful sock yarn stash! I'd probably finish a pair, but only because I get a little hinky when I have too many UFOs.

  6. I think I need to start doing like you and make a knitting goals list for each month. Otherwise the time just gets away from me. Gorgeous stash, by the way. *drool*

  7. Start a new pair - then you'll have less stash and you won't feel so guilty!

    Happy (early) anniversary, by the way!

    I love your socks and sock yarn. It makes me wish I had a clue how to knit socks. Or something besides a scarf or hat or on a loom.
