I am away on business this week, so this is likely going to be it for posts until Thursday. When I come back with, say, a camera cord, I will have some lovely pictures of my weekend exploits with Jody, my sister Jen, and my friend Staci. In the meantime...
Jessica tagged me...so here's my meme on sock knitting.
When did you learn to knit socks? 2005
What's the first sock you ever knit? Plain old cuff down - as part of a class
Favorite sock pattern? I love so many - i will just say I prefer to knit them cuff down than toe up.
Favorite sock yarn? There are so many gorgeous handpainted varieties I love, but for standing the test of time and long wear, I will say good old trekking XXL.
Fave needle method? Addi Turbo 12 inch Circular - size US 2.
Favorite sock needles? See above
Who do you knit socks for? My family. Myself...All winter I wear only handknit socks except when I go to the gym or hiking.
How many pairs have you knitted to date? Over 50. I am not sure I have a pic of every pair I have knit.
What's on your sock knitting to-do list? Finish up knitting the various 4 or 5 socks I have on the needles.
What kind of socks do you like to knit -
Striped? sure
Colorwork? I love how fast colorwork seems to go.
Plain stockinette? The best for knitting in the dark - and while on the phone.
Cabled? sure
Lace? sure
Anklets? yep, mostly I knit myself long anklets - only about 3 or 4 inches before the heel.
Knee socks? Not yet, but I may someday.
Solid colors? sure
Bright & crazy? on request
Faux-Fair Isle? not really - I prefer to make my own fair isle knitting - not use that preprinted yarn (although I did make a pair to begin with).
Tag a few sock knitters here - if you knit socks and feel like doing a meme, you are tagged. Tell me in the comments so I can go read yours.
