I'd like to say a big welcome to some new folks who have joined the Challenge. Hello to Janine, Julie and Lisa!
Since this challenge isn't just about me, when I can, I'm going to share pictures from people in the Challenge with me as well as stories and other anecdotes relevant to what knitting socks means to recipients and knitters. While pictures are limited to participants, if you have a special sock knitting story that relates to the knitting socks for family theme please feel free to send me an email (see my link in the side bar in my "About Me" section to get my email address) with your story (normally I wouldn't mind getting it in my comments, but then it wouldn't be a special surprise for the Sock Challenge update post.
Today's picture comes from Kristi who finished a pair of Jaywalker socks for her sister-in-law. They are modeled by the lovely and sweet Otis. I couldn't resist this picture because I don't get to put too many cute dogs up on my blog.
Completely unrelated to socks, you need to check out Julie's new podcast, Stitch-Cast! Her first full episode is up and ready for download. I know I'm biased, but I think it's great! She introduces herself, talks about quilting, entrelac and indigo dyeing. And if you ever wanted to know how Julie and I met, you can find that out in the show, too!
Otis is a sweetie! And those Jaywalkers look great on him. :)
I have pictures and posts on my blog of two more pairs: the husband's and th older daughter's socks are finished! And the younger daughter's on the needles. So that makes 28 finished family socks.
Love all these finished socks! And the dog photo is priceless.
I love that dog-in-socks picture.... but then, I'm a sucker for cute dog pictures!
Tee hee! That picutre is hilarious.
Thanks for the shout out for my podcast!
Wow that's a lot of socks. Isn't Otis the most adorable dog, well maybe besides ABner, out ther! That picture with the socks is beyond adorable.
That's one of the cutest sock modeling pictures I've seen.
Thanks to all who are giving Otis praise - nothing cuter than a pet wearing a handknit, thats my motto!
