54 Pairs of Socks Complete!
6 new finished pairs of socks entered the Family Sock Challenge World this week courtesy of Janna, Kristi (who has two pairs, Michelle K, Natalie and Wendy. Wow. We're now up to 54 pairs! It really looks like I need to get knitting faster. When I can, I'm trying to make sure that I provide links to the finished sock pictures and a little detail about the kind of socks they are -- sort of a way for all of us to check out new sock patterns and yarns that we might be curious about. All the entries marked 4/22/2006 and later are new ones, so be sure to check them out!
A note to everyone: I will be in that Mecca for fiber people know as Maryland Sheep & Wool next weekend. As much as I love my laptop, I'm probably not going to take it along (a girl needs to have room in her suitcase for sheepy things when going to Maryland). So there will be no Sock Challenge post next weekend. If you need to update me, just come back and make another comment on this post. Movable Type will keep track of the dates for me.
I'm going to be taking two sock projects along with me: the pair for my mom and I'm going to invoke my "I can work on socks for myself if they were already started when the challenge started" clause and get started on my second Mermaid sock. The first one got started on my very first trip to Maryland in 2004. Seems like it might be time to get the second one underway and finished!
Theresa,
Have fun at MS&W. I'm jealous. I can't wait to hear about it. Thanks again for keeping track of the sock challenge. It really keeps me motivated.
Yay for MS&W! And double yay for the business function that conveniently gets me to the East Coast at the right time each year! And boo to Amtrak for not doing checked luggage *at all* on their East Coast service-- how am I ever going to get all my new toys packed into what they'll allow as carry-on bags? And now I must get serious about packing.
