tuesday is knitalong day Today however is Wednesday. Alas, my web server was down for the part of the day yesterday when I was home and able to blog. So this week, Wednesday is Tuesday, okay.* You mean there's MORE finished sockapalooza socks?! Oh yeah! Shirley's fair-isles (seen on her pal Andrea's blog) Only 16 people left on the list to finish and report in. Only 16 - wow! I am so happy with how this knitalong turned out. And so impressed at how many of you have come through for your pals. What great socks and great pals. Thanks to you all for making the sockapalooza rock! * - When I was in college, we always had those Jewish holidays off that fall in the middle of the week. In order to make up the missed class days from the M-W-F schedule, there was an official "Tuesday is a Wednesday" scheduled in the calendar. It was sort of fun doing everything on the wrong day! posted by alison at 8:46 am | in

I got my socks Alison.They are just beautiful! I posted them on my blog today.Thanks so much for putting on such a fun sock-along! Posted by: cara at April 6, 2005 9:37 AMHi Alison ... I just realized that while I sent my socks off, I never "reported" to you ... and I'm not sure if I caught my name on your list (though it may have been there some Tuesday that I missed) ... so just thought I'd let you know. I'm off and running with socks now, I just knew that your sockapalooza would get me over that hump! Thanks again for hosting -- you did a great job! Posted by: Jenifer at April 6, 2005 9:46 AMMy first day of classes in September will be a "Tuesday is a Friday" to even out the number of days. Now I think I finally understand... Posted by: Lindsay at April 6, 2005 9:52 AMI noticed your website was down. :/ Did you get my email about The Gathering? Posted by: Timothy at April 6, 2005 10:11 AMI went to a college with Jewish holidays, and we used to do that TUesday is Wednesday thing too! It was weird... Posted by: patti at April 6, 2005 10:24 AMall of the socks are just beautiful! now, quit posting links to all these blogs i've never seen... i'm running out of 'blog-readin' time!" Glad to see you're back! Missed you yesterday. Since it's knitalong day....is there a "nothing but a T" along in the works? Have yarn in stash, just need a little peer pressure! Posted by: Cathy at April 6, 2005 4:15 PMHi, there! Because of "Good Friday" we have a "Tuesday is a Friday" day at the end of the semester. Good times. I know I'm obsessed when i check back all day to see if you've posted... Hee hee Happy knitting!! Posted by: Rachele at April 6, 2005 7:29 PMMy gorgeous socks arrived today. This has been the most fun ever! My co-workers, and most of the family, truly think I've gone 'round the bend but knitters know the pure pleasure of knowing your work is appreciated and the utter joy of receiving a handknitted item from other hands. Thank you so much for organizing this. I'll definitely be a part of Sockapalooza II. Posted by: Gina in Calgary at April 6, 2005 7:35 PMUnfortunately my recipient still hasn't received her socks. :( I mailed them weeks ago and they're lost somewhere between here and Canaduh. Blah! Hopefully she gets them eventually. Posted by: Liz at April 6, 2005 8:29 PMBetcha you went to Brandeis! Posted by: Beth S. at April 6, 2005 10:23 PMAlison - I never officially reported in either, but M-H of Rainy Day got my socks, and I got mine from Deb!!!! Thanks so much for hosting this fun knit-a-long! Posted by: Jenny at April 6, 2005 11:49 PMI was waiting until my socks arrived, but I just wanted to say thanks for being such a wonderful knitalong hostess. I don't know how you managed it, but you always were there to give me a positive thought when I was working on my socks. It's very much appreciated and I can't wait til Sockapalooza Two! =) Posted by: keri at April 7, 2005 10:35 AMOh, I'm one of the delinquent 16... but I finished the heel of the 2nd sock in meetings last week, and this weekend is all about the cuff. Hopefully good things to report on Monday at the latest! Posted by: Sarah at April 8, 2005 2:57 PMI just wanted to check in again and let you know that I have received my socks and so has my pal! YAY!!! Posted by: Gina at April 10, 2005 6:01 PM |
