Socks!


Well - sock knitting apparently was still very important to me in 2011.
That is only a few of the pairs that got finished.
Some have been given away already. 
I think the final number was 25.


I knit up 8 of the 12 brown bags that got packaged at the beginning of 2011.
In fact, I just started the snowflake socks last night.
And I haven't pulled and caked yarn for 2012 yet - not sure if I will.

So - what did you knit?  Do you knit socks?
Do you wear handknit socks?

  1. What an impressive pile of hand-knit socks.

    Yes, I knit socks for myself and for others. My sock drawer runneth over! Now, I wear only hand-knit socks.

  2. I'm knitting socks again, thanks to you and Lucy and peer pressure. ;) I do love handknit socks and probably only have about 10 pairs. Maybe I can double that this year?

  3. I've been wearing handknit socks this winter, thanks to you and Lynn.

    I knit toys and dog sweaters most in 2011. I don't have any firm plans for 2012, but I do have some ideas floating around my brain. Stay tuned.

  5. Good job! I adore my hand knit socks and my goal is to only have hand knit socks in my drawer! I may even knit a pair or two for Tom if he's nice to me!

  6. That is so awesome!!!

    I'm always knitting socks, no matter what else I am working on. I always have at least one pair on the needles. Two reasons : I love to knit socks and I hate to darn them.

  7. I think I knit 2 or 3 pairs of socks last year. Hoping to do a little more of that this year. 25 is sooo out of my league!

  9. Ah, I can't imagine not having handknit socks now ! Got about a dozen pairs or so in the drawer, so lots of choices each week. Your pile is very colorful and so pretty :-)

  10. What a lovely stack of socks, showing off their colours and textures.

    I do wear my handknitted socks from 2010. For me 2011 was a year of making shawls from sock yarn. First socks followed by first shawls!

    My dear Mother so liked the yarn in the shawl I knitted over Xmas and New Years holidays up at their home that I am now making one for her in the same yarn!!!

    Wishing you a very happy New Year, I hope 2012 is kind to you,

  11. Awesome!
    I only finished 2 pairs of socks between baby knitting, shawls, cowls, afghan etc. That being said I'm on the sock wagon again :). Two pair cast on and I'm knitting right along.
