Sock-it-to-me Sunday

Here are the next two pairs of socks that will be knit next. Both pairs are from this year's Rockin' Sock Club. I had already started the Soltsice Slip socks some time ago but had to work on some other socks first. They are both also on the Top 10 Stash Projects KAL list. I am really looking forward to next year's sock club. Since I had already got in on Rockin' Sock Club 2008 before the KAL, than it doesn't count against the stash along. Plus it is sock yarn and we all know that sock yarn doesn't count anyway.

Sock-it-to-me Sunday

Well as you can see I got alot done on the "Grasshoper" pattern from the April Kit of the Rockin' Sock Club 2007. Honestly, the pattern is just not working for me. I don't like how the colors show on the instep but love how the show on the sole of the foot. So it may be time for a trip to the frog pond. On the other hand, my Jaywalker is coming out great. So hopefully I will have the first sock done soon. Maybe even this week. Then I can get to the second sock. Plus figure out which pattern to use for the "Walking on the Wild Tide" yarn. I am thinking about doing "Priscilla's Dream Socks" from the Favorite Socks book. But I may do them toe up instead of cuff down.

Sock-it-to-me Sunday

Pattern: Monkey
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepard Sock, color Girly Stripe
Needles: US size 1 1/2 (2.5mm)DPNs

Little progress was made on the Jaywalkers and the Big Black Socks. I looked at them and just didn't want to work on them. So I started my socks from the April Kit of the Rockin' Sock Club 2007. The yarn is soooo soft and the first sock is coming along slowly. I don't forsee me finishing this pair before the June Kit comes out. But that's okay, knitting is suppose to be fun. Plus I can only do some knitting when the boys are in bed.

Rockin' Sock Club 2007

Here it is in all its glory - the first package of the Rockin' Sock Club for 2007. I could hardly contain my excitement when I saw the lil slip in the mailbox that said I had a package waiting for me at the apartment complex office. Go ahead and click on the picture for more views of the goodies. I am really looking forward to knitting these socks up for me.
