So actually, Summer of Socks 2008 began, um, June 21st. But I didn’t get a sock started for it until July 7th. I was too busy finishing up other things I needed to get done to start!

So here’s my first sock-in-progress for Summer of Socks 2008:

Cute, eh? I’m adoring the yarn so much I want like, 2-3 more balls of it, just to have on hand. This sock is being made with 56 stitches, but I’m not sure I like that. We’ll see after I get the heel done.

[Edit: The rainbow socks are made with the Baby Cable Rib patterned socks in Sensational Knitted Socks.]

Then, there’s this sock, which I was working on BEFORE SOS ‘08, which is Mom’s Eleanor socks. Got the first done and am two inches into the next, hoping to finish it off in a week.

Both socks (the two in progress) are moving fast, so hopefully… I’ll actually get to start another pair for SOS soon! :)

2. Oh! I didn’t post that. The pattern is Baby Cable Ribbed socks from Sensational Knitted Socks.

3. I love making socks, but I never wear them, so I don’t make them…it’s a catch 22!

   I was looking at the first skein and was like “eh” and then I saw it knitted up and it’s really beautiful!

   Oh, I read the post below as well…have you heard of letterboxing? Pretty much the same premise, but you find the box, stamp it with a personalized stamp and then stamp a book of yours with the stamp in the box. I’ve seen some absolutely amazing hand carved stamps that way!
