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.

Well, you got 4 pairs more done than I did! :) I want to do more socks this year, too, especially after seeing all of your pretties from last year!

Damn good. I would have to check the blog to see what I did, but I know production slowed W A Y down. You can dent that stash easily.

Wow, I only finished *one* pair of socks, and they were ones I started in the summer of 2008. 2009 was the Year of the Sweater, for me.
The socks you did knit look great!

No no no! You will not make me want to knit socks. You hear?
And also: that last yarn? I thought that was for ME.
In a huff, JFrick.

Well it may be only 5 pairs of socks but they're all beautiful. I think I only finished one pair this year, maybe two. I've got another pair almost finished but they've been that way for months. :)
