a year in socks

I was surprised to see that I only knit 5 pairs of socks this year. I would have thought it was more than that. And only 2 were for me!

The year started with these socks:

"Commissioned" by my mom for my sister-in-law's Christmas gift.
(Raveled here.)

Next came a pair of Monkey socks for my mother-in-law's Christmas gift. Finished in mumblety-May-mumblety. Oops.

(Raveled here.)

Also finished in May were the Mystery Socks from Kirsten/Through the Loops. For me!

(Raveled here.)

Then, in early June, a pair of simple stockinette GREEEEEEEN socks for Kellee, as a thanks for several nice things she did for me.

(Yep, Raveled over here.)

Then, after a sock dry spell of about 6 months, I finished this pair, for me:

(Yo, over here, on Ravelry.)

I love my handknit socks. I'd like to make a few more pairs for myself in 2010. Maybe some from this yarn:


It looks like I have at least 20 sock yarns in the stash. Let's get cracking, self.
