Well, I’m halfway through my first pair of socks for Summer of Socks. The pattern is Spiral Eyelet Socks by Sandi Rosner. The yarn is ONline Supersocke Cotton Summer Color. Cast on 6/22/08 and finished the first sock 6/27/08. I really like this yarn. It’s cotton with some wool and nylon in it, and it’s [...]

I knit the entire heel plus most of the cuff during the ride to and from my SIL’s house last Sunday (3 hrs round trip). [...]

…or so they say. Today, the surviving sock warriors received an email from the Supreme Commander calling for a mail-in finish to the game.

I think that little exchange will be happening a lot over the next few months. Just heard from my brand-new Sock Wars assassin and she had some sorta good/sorta bad news… she received the SIPs from my original assassin (her target) and they were knit with yarn that was too heavy for the required gauge.

I received them from her on May 23, just in time for Memorial Day weekend. She had gotten about halfway through (or maybe a little more) the first sock. I finished that first [...]

Still working on my target’s SIPs for Sock Wars III. I managed to finish up the first sock over Memorial Day weekend, but I haven’t finished the second sock yet (getting close, though!). I have checked back in the warrior listing, and my assassin is out of the game (lucky her, she has a pair [...]
