Another one off the WIP list
I've been working pretty hard lately on clearing things from the WIP list. Well... socks at least.
Pattern: plain sock, 72 sts on size 1s
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Liberty
Started: 2/28/07
Finished: 3/13/07
I've also vowed to start knitting some plain socks with some of my crazier variegated and/or patterned yarns. I buy them because I love the colors and then they just sit in my stash while I knit more subtle yarns in fancy schmancy patterns. No more!
This pair also put me just past the 3 mile mark in the Lime 'n Violet Sock Marathon. I don't really have a goal exactly, just to knit through as much of my sock stash as I can. And have all those yummy socks!
And now for BIG NEWS:
I'm going to sock camp! Yes, Blue Moon sock camp, and it's on my birthday! And I get to see my family since it's over by Seattle. I'm so unreasonably excited, and I promise to take tons of pictures and post a long and detailed account when I get back. SOCK CAMP! I am such a dork.

Great socks! I've been feeling like that too - that I really want to get to more of my beloved sock yarn stash! Of course I'm not as fast a knitter as you are ...
I should make that vow. Really. I should. *runs off to Cookie's website*
Oh, I am greeeeen with envy that you're going to the BM sock camp! Document every moment! Let me live vicariously through you!
Sock camp? How fun! You'll have to tell us all about it.
BTW, have you nominated some films over at Fiberflix? Nominations are open until Monday.

LUCKY!!!!!
Cool socks! Sock camp for your birthday sounds like a blast. I agree with you on the wild colors and simple patterns. As much as I really enjoy knitting the complicated ones, I think I wear the plain ones more. All good yarns in all good time...
I love the socks, LL is always a winner! and sock camp sounds fab!
You get to go to sock camp! Lucky you! Yes, post loads of pictures, we want to see just how much fun you're having over there! I want to go so badly, it's not even funny. But we're already visiting my parents in Germany this year, so no sock camp for me.
The socks are fabulous. You really do keep cranking them out.
Yeah, well, I'm going to dance camp this summer. It's pretty dorky, but I think sock camp beats dance camp for dorkiness.
Hi! I have that same yarn, and it's not striping prettily like yours, it looks horribly blotchy! could you please tell me how many stitches around you used on what size needles? Thanks!
