tuesday is knitalong day

We are at 90%! That's an A in school, so I'm calling this round a huge success (a big enough success to keep the sockapaloooza's coming - look for round four in the fall). Well done, everyone! We've still got a little more than 50 socksters who haven't finished. So keep knitting! Your sock pal's feet are waiting patiently. If you've already finished and your name is still in blue on the big list, please update the database and let me or your sock sister know, so we can turn you red!

Your finishers this week:

Ann's done!
Ann-Marie finished gorgeous blue jaywalkers - you gotta see!
Ann-Sophie reports that she finished Regia socks with a horseshoe lace pattern.
Bev knit beautiful sock savior socks in Koigu Kersti.
Colleen finished her sock savior Pomatami and loved the pattern.
Elise is finished!
Erica has sent and received her socks, hopefully her IT guy gets her pics working again. :)
Freddiefan is done!
Gina finished up some really great pink Regia socks.
Gracie is done too!
Check out Julie_C's beautiful yellow, lace socks!
Kathy has pictures of her pal's fabulous Aran Sandal socks.
Laurie has finished her socks!
Lindsey has finished her socks (two pairs!) and will send them out this week.
Minnie finished previously and posted a photo of her Pomatomi last week.
Not only is Pixeldiva done, she also promises the pattern for her picot cuff lace socks.
Rachel reported in and she is finished.
Tara finished gorgeous ribbed socks in Lorna's Laces.
Diane waited until her pal received the lovely Purl Lace socks she knit to post about them. So sneaky!
Jill knit beautiful blue anklets and waited until she finished them before opening her own sockapaloooza package!

Remember to update the database when you're done and have sent your socks. And when you receive your socks, do let the pal who knit for you know by sending them an email or writing a thanks in the comments here!

I haven't even gotten my socks yet, but I can't wait for #4! I had a great time knitting socks for my pal. Thanks for all the work you did, Alison.

I'm blue on the big list, but my socks are sent so I should be red right? Oh well, I'm enjoying the socks I recieved so that's what really counts!

Woohoo, Erin, great! One less name in blue!

Yes I received my socks as well as a yummy skein of Fleece Artist Sock yarn.....wow, my socks are a deep royal blue in a gorgeous alpaca yarn, so soft and warm. The pattern is a lace design of Meghan's own and it is gorgeous. She even named it "Susanne's lace Socks".
Just wonderful and thanks again Alison for this great exchange!!

Thanks, Alison for all your hard work coordinating this exchange ... I can't wait for the next installment.
