grab some sock yarn
Wednesday, September 30, 2009I just wanted to mention Kirsten's mystery sock knitalong. Maybe you did it last year, maybe you didn't. If you haven't heard of it, it really is a ton of fun. Kirsten will post new directions every Thursday. It is pretty great to have a weekly goal, accomplish that goal each week, and then have a pair of socks at the end of it. (If you work on both socks!) So, check your stash, shop your local yarn store or order some sock yarn on-line. She will be posting the first clue tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like fun, but I am going to start my first colorwork socks tonight (and umm, it would be generous to say that I have just a few socks already on the needles). I will live vicariously through all of the socks online!
ReplyDeleteI bought a skein of schaefer Nichole from a fellow raveler and am hoping it arrives tomorrow, I'm so excited:) If it doesn't come I'll just have to be a day behind!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the first set of directions! :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm always tempted... I just know I won't have time this year, despite the fact that I do not have a new baby this time!

ReplyDeleteTempting, tempting... I wish you wouldn't keep doing this to me. I have cupcakes and a birthday cake and a book group (and vacuuming and appetizer making) to get through today, along with two meetings... Now I'm going to be obsessed about fitting this in, too.
