Comments on: Sock it to me…sorta… http://amyartisan.com/blog/2006/05/11/sock-it-to-mesorta/ Insights into my artistic endeavors and other things...

Over the course of the class I finished the first sock. Pretty soon thereafter I began the second sock. And well, recently week I discovered the bag with the sock and yarn – as you can see not much progress has been made on the second sock. In May of this year I took a “Socks on 2 Circular Needles” class at Arcadia. As I blogged about earlier, the first skein of yarn was a bit defective so I didn’t get the sock finished. When I learned that I would be traveling for work this summer I thought that socks would be a great travel project. Yeah, well that didn’t happen. The work travel is done and no socks were knit; however, I have picked up quite the sock yarn stash over this year. At Stitches Midwest in August I picked up Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles and have started on another pair of socks using this method. With all the sock yarn that I now have I am definitely ready to knit socks. I have several projects to finish before the holidays; however, I hope that the coming months will be an extension of Socktoberfest for me.

Sorry about the white stripe. How annoying! At least you get some extra knitting practice, though. What pretty tulips! Sorry about the white stripe. How annoying!

I don't think it looks bad to have the white stripe though. Sorry to see that just appeared! Love the tulips! Oh no! I don’t think it looks bad to have the white stripe though.

It's so cute!! The tulips are gorgeous. That sucks about the yarn, but then again, kinda makes it cool. I love that knit project tote. It’s so cute!! The tulips are gorgeous.

You have the right attitude though - using that as a practice sock. You tulips are so pretty - last time I tried to plant some the stupid squirrels dug them all up. :( Great gifts from your goddaughters!!! Safe travels!

But at least you got a replacement yarn! I haven't tried the 2 circs method yet, but will definitely, I'm quite curious to see how this will work out for me! What a lovely package you got - a day can't go wrong when there's such goodies in it! :) Oh, the socks would have looked so great – what a shame that there was a mistake in the skein!
