Summer of Socks ’08

July 9, 2008 By Carole

I think I can officially declare that the Summer of Socks ’08 is well underway. What gives me the authority to make this declaration? The fact that Jessalu and I are currently administering the SOS updates and it’s been mighty hard to keep up with these sock knitters.

Of course, both Jess and I forgot about our commitment to keeping track of this stuff for the next two weeks. Whoops. And then when I did remember I tried to update things without knowing what I was doing. Totally effed up the spreadsheet, too. Luckily, Jess was able to fix it up and get things back on track. I think we might even have a handle on it now. Emphasis on might.

While I may have forgotten about my adminstrative duties, I did prepare myself for my knitting duties. Back in June I selected these yarns for my Summer of Socks knitting:

Pretty, eh? And the various colorways just scream summer, I think. See that orange skein over on the far left? It’s almost a finished pair of socks now. Like I said, the Summer of Socks is well underway.

    Lovely yarn choices.

    Messing up the doc is one of my concerns when my turn comes. I’m hoping my partner knows what she’s doing because I don’t.

  21. Sara says

    oh my.. those are some luscious yarns.
    I love the orange one, but my heart is going pitter pat over the red in the middle and the blue on the end
