Sock Madness Stealth

January 30, 2008 By Carole

Thank you all so very much for your kind comments on my blogiversary yesterday. I loved reading them and I’m glad that you all like the new look for the blog, too. Or maybe you just all want chocolate. Either way, I’m a happy blogger.

I wish I could show you the knitting I’ve been doing but I can’t. You see, I have to be all stealth about it because I’m test knitting some patterns for Sock Madness 2. You remember Sock Madness, right? Well this year I’m hosting with Hillary (sounds like a show on the Food Network, doesn’t it?) instead of participating and right now we are deep in the throes of planning for this year’s competition. We had a great phone conversation last night and talked about everything from work, family and blogging to knitting, spinning and how we’re both not phone people. Believe it or not, we even managed to sort out some details about Sock Madness. Sign ups are right around the corner so keep your eye on the Sock Madness blog for details!

In the meantime I’ve been test knitting sock patterns. So far I’ve had one unsuccessful pattern but two successful ones. I just can’t show them to you because Sock Madness patterns are a big secret. Well, maybe I can give you a teeny tiny peek.

  7. Liz says

  8. Teresa C says

    January 30, 2008 at 8:31 am

    I’ll bet all the boys called you a tease….

  9. Kathy says

    January 30, 2008 at 8:32 am

    THAT is thoroughly unsatisfying! Look forward to seeing the patterns — the mad weave pattern last year is stunning.

  10. Karen says

    January 30, 2008 at 8:34 am

    I look forward to watching the madness unfold.

    Ooops, sorry about the repeat comment, your site did something funny and I didn’t think it went through. Feel free to delete!

  13. Sara says

    January 30, 2008 at 9:13 am

    Oh…my…just enough to keep us guessing. I’ve never participated in Sock Madness…

  14. Chris says

    January 30, 2008 at 9:16 am

    Intriguing, yet strangely unsatisfying, you tease! 😉

  15. Wool Winder says

    January 30, 2008 at 9:20 am

    Pretty yarn for both.

  16. Jean says

    January 30, 2008 at 9:22 am

    I bet you think you’re funny, huh? lol. The colors are gorgeous in the first pair!

  17. marianne says

    January 30, 2008 at 9:27 am

    Heh, tease is right…. those are Gorgeous colours! and I’m guessing that second photo is a B&W… they’re great photos btw, nicely catching stitch definition.

  18. Hillary says

    January 30, 2008 at 9:39 am

    It was great talking to you last night. The pictures are perfect.

  19. Lucia says

    January 30, 2008 at 9:51 am

    I think you’re channeling your Civil War persona: flashing just a bit of ankle to get us all excited.

    (It’s working.)

  20. jessica~ says

    January 30, 2008 at 9:53 am

    Whoooooo, loving the colors in that first sock!

  21. margene says

    January 30, 2008 at 10:18 am

    You two would be great co-hosts for the foodnetwork! 😉

  22. Tanya says

    I missed sock madness last time around. How does it work? Very interested! Love the colors of your test knits.

  23. Cookie says

    January 30, 2008 at 12:12 pm

    Pretty. I hope the rest of the patterns work out.

  24. Carol says

    January 30, 2008 at 12:17 pm

    I’m with Kim, you’re a tease.

  25. Teyani says

    January 30, 2008 at 1:05 pm

    You’ve won an award ! Hop on over to my blog and check it out 🙂

  26. Rachel says

    January 30, 2008 at 1:39 pm

    Test knitting patterns is a lot of work, but it can be fun, too. Both of those socks look very intriguing. I missed out on the last Sock Madness, but I may have to sign up for this one. It sounded like so much fun!

  27. liz says

    January 30, 2008 at 2:48 pm

    Happy Blogiversary a day late. The socks look yummy!

  28. Carrie says

    January 30, 2008 at 4:14 pm

    YAY I can’t wait for this round. Last year’s was fun and maddening all at the same time!

  29. Leslie says

    January 30, 2008 at 4:27 pm

    Just a peek, eh? No fair.

  30. Micki says

    January 30, 2008 at 5:09 pm

    Tease! 🙂

  31. Birdsong says

    January 30, 2008 at 5:42 pm

    What great, enticing close-ups! You are probably saner to be the administrator, but still that is a very brave decision, I’m thinking!

  32. Imbrium says

    January 30, 2008 at 5:49 pm

    Ooooh, that yarn is lovely.

  33. Anne says

    January 30, 2008 at 6:44 pm

    What is that pretty yarn?

  34. Kelly says

    January 30, 2008 at 6:59 pm

    Now you’ve got me all curious. Love the color of the yarn!

  35. lisa says

    January 30, 2008 at 7:49 pm

    Pretty pretty pretty! I am such a slow sock knitter that I never join these things, but I love looking at what everybody makes.

  36. Manise says

    January 30, 2008 at 8:38 pm

    Definitely a tease! Is that STR in the first photo?

  37. Debi says

    January 30, 2008 at 9:28 pm

    The patterns look great from what I can see!

    Are the patterns made available even if your don’t participate?

  38. susan says

    January 30, 2008 at 11:05 pm

    That’s not much of a peek.
    I like the new wallpaper. It’s very New England-ish.

  39. JessaLu says

    January 31, 2008 at 12:16 am

    Tease.

  40. Kim says

    January 31, 2008 at 12:16 am

    OOohh, I really like the colorway of the top peek.

  41. E says

    January 31, 2008 at 12:05 pm

    thanks for the peek!! that top one is really stunning. i love the bottom colorway too – i never think to do something in dark colors like that, but it looks great!

  42. ~Kristie says

    January 31, 2008 at 2:49 pm

    You’re a tease!! How wonderful that you’re designing sock patterns for that.

  43. Wanda says

    February 1, 2008 at 1:25 am

    both look great.
