Sock Challenge: February 2006 Archives

I've been meaning to do this for a while, and with the Olympics having drawn to a close, it seems like a good time to talk about the challenge I (and some other knitting friends) are taking on this year: to knit socks for our families.

If you look on my side bar (you may have to scroll down a bit, depending on the size and resolution of your monitor) you'll see the list of people I plan to knit socks for, the group of people who are knitting along with me, and a total tally of family feet that will have new socks at their disposal. Currently, the group of us are up to 6 pairs of socks. Not bad for a challenge that's only been going on for a couple of weeks. Here's the group of folks that I'm keeping the tally for:

There's always room for more if anyone else is interested in joining us. There aren't really too many rules for this on. My goal is to knit a pair of socks for all my immediate family members this year. I've finished a pair for John and a pair for my sister-in-law, Libby and I've just cast on a pair for my dad and another pair for John (he's going to be the recipient of the large-sized Dragon Socks). And if I missed an announcement from anyone in my list, please let me know. The past couple of weeks I've had a pretty full inbox and I could have missed something by accident. Also, if you're on my list and you have a website, but you don't see a link here, let me know. I'll be happy to add it.

I thought I'd close today's post with a picture that makes me smile and feel a bit sad at the same time:
