the blue blog archives: tuesday is knitalong day

I'm actually almost done with this sock now, but this picture I took a few days ago captures the turquoise color of the yarn better than any of the other pictures I've taken.

Alright sockapalooz-ers, get ready to start drooling. One of these fabulous pairs of recently finished socks could be for you!

Those of you who haven't started yet, time to kick into high gear! We want to make sure that everyone gets a pair of socks. Go, go, go!

International sock pals, you might think about sending socks out at the end of the month. Those of us sending within the US will be sending things out on or around March 15, so socks will be still en route for about a week after that. So plan accordingly, given what you know about your country's postal service.

Thanks for such a great update Alison! It's really fun to see what the other Sock-ers are up to.

sometimes I look at these great pics of socks and feel sock inadequacy and start to wonder if I should quick whip up another pair for my pal instead of the ones that I've finished already!!

I've knit three pairs of socks recently (two of Regia and one of Koigu), but am afraid to wear them--if they sprung holes, I might have to tear hair and gnash teeth. How durable are hand-knit socks, especially Koigu?

Man I wish I had signed up for sockapalooza! Of course, the fact that I take forever to knit socks (and everything else for that matter) wouldn't have made it easy. Great for inspiration though :)

First of all- thanks for the compliment! Second, I am having so much fun checkout out everyone's socks. Totally inspirational- so many socks to knit, so little time!

Thanks for the update. Seeing everyones progress is making me want to work on my socks today instead of work. Oh well...I plan on knitting a little over my lunch hour to tide me over and the rest will have to wait until tonight! It's so fun to see what other people are knitting and wonder which pair are mine!!!

Thanks for the update. You must be very busy, when I see where all you left a comment. Are you surfing by night and day?
My socks are also finished, only some wahshing, weaving in ends and blocking left. New picture will be up soon :)

My socks are done! Woohoo!
And while I haven't fixed the sweater I intended to fix this month, I did finally fix and finish the Mon Petit Chou hipsters. Whew.
