A socky summer

I missed the sign-ups for the Summer of Socks (and I'll admit, since I only finished one pair of socks last summer, I wasn't really motivated to sign up this year), so I'm not officially knitting along this summer. However, that didn't stop me from casting on three new pairs of socks this week.


Some simple stockinette socks to knit during baseball games (already ready for the heel flap), another pair for Hubbo, and the very beginnings of a pair of Monkey socks for me.

Thanks to many hours spent at baseball games I have three pairs of socks with the legs knit, one with the heel turned, one ready for the heel turn, and one pair almost to the toe. Now if they can each get a mate, I'll be doing great!

This brings my total number of socks in progress to 10. Yikes.

  2. Aren't socks fun? One can never have too many socks! I've lately been knitting split toe socks so I can wear them with flip flops and look really doofy. (Pattern's on my blog). Aaaah, socks!

  6. maybe i should knit all your second-socks. then neither of us would have to deal with second-sock syndrome! but then... each of us would get to keep only one sock. hm.

  7. Socks are perfect for summer, but there's no need for stress!

  8. I found your blog through the kniting blogs webring, and I'm glad that I did! It's nice to know that other knitters have an uncontrollable number of "in prgress" projects. I can't wait to see how all your socks turn out.
