As I pulled out black yarns for the Repair of the Convertible Shrug, I decided it was a good time to line up my sock yarn for a little flash action. Most of my yarns are hand painted: Scout, Mama-E, Marie (whom I forgot to mention as one of the lovelies I met on Saturday), Lisa Souza, STR, Carole, Jessica, Heide, and me are represented on that bed. I have some commercial yarns, as well as "blanks" waiting to be colored.
My next step to celebrate Socktoberfest is to cast on for Neal’s 2005 Christmas socks. He wants them to be green and silver (the Dalegarn Heilo in the front), and just above his ankle. I’ve joined My First Toe Ups and plan to cast on today.
By the way, there is enough yarn there for at least 26 pair of socks. And I just realized that I forgot a couple of skeins of Cascade Fixation. I don’t need to purchase sock yarn for at least a year, I’d say (but I’m sure I will before then)!
Sock yarn is so addictive – you think to yourself that two balls are an entire project, and so you buy and buy and buy, and next thing you know you have enough sock yarn for 57 pairs….
yah…that would be me.
I love toe-up socks, hope you enjoy the experience!
And I thought I had sock yarn. *L*
Good luck with the toe-ups! I think you’ll really like it.
I’m SO jealous I can hardly type. But they couldn’t be owned by a nicer girl. 😉
Nice pile you’ve got there :o)
good lord, girl! i know whose house to break into when the sock bug hits! 🙂
actually, my sock yarn stash is probably similar in scope… lots of loud handpaints.
hurrah for happy feet!
