73 Pairs of Socks
It's time for another round up of what's going on for the Family Sock Challenge. Summer is always a quiet knitting time, but there have been a few new pairs of socks since my last post.
Annie finished a second pair of socks for her daughter (no pictures that I'm aware of) out of Opal Flamingo and got a pair started for her husband using Regia Jaquard. Maggie just finished a pair for her brother (or Brotherman as she likes to call him) and has gotten started on another pair for a special person. I also finished a pair of socks for my brother and just today I got started on my final pair. So that's three new pairs of socks that have entered the lives of our friends and family. I've also started another pair for myself --- I had to do some "research" for my aunt's socks. I'll be posting more about both pairs in one of my regular blog posts soon.
As always, here's the current score card. And should you want to join, there's still room for more. With the winter holidays coming up, I'm betting a bunch of you will be knitting socks for your family and friends anyways...
Feeling guilty here, not only hav I not kept you up to date with what I have been knitting, but also I haven't been knitting as many socks as I hoped. Still I do have one pair of orange and pink striped footies done for daughter that you can add to the list :-)
Oh geez, I'm not behind but my updates are because I haven't kept you up to date. I finished those birthday socks for Jess over a month ago. And since then I knit a Trekking pair for my daughter Hannah and another pair for Hannah for her birthday. I'm preparing to start birthday socks for my daughter-in-law, Heather.
That's a lot of socks!
Could I join the sock challenge, too? I've finished a pair for SIL#2, started the pair for MIL and hubby (on second sock on both) and I've been plotting a pair for FIL and SIL#1, and have a new BIL to be (SIL#2 just got engaged). And soon, I'll be sleep deprived with a new short person. Pictures on my blog of the latest pair of socks, and the MIL's socks in progress.
Beautiful amount of socks! Yeah!
