Pair #10

This pair is Devon, from Sock Innovation by Cookie A. It's knit in Trekking XXL that I overdyed with kool-aid.

Number 9

Pair number 9 is Kiila. This was the May '09 mystery sock for the Sock Knitters Anonymous group on Ravelry.

A mystery for #8

Pair #8 was designed as a mystery for a knit-along in a german knitting group on Yahoo!
These were knit with Lana Grossa Meilenweit Cotton Stretch yarn.
I liked this pattern and will probably knit it again in another yarn.

Who doesn't love some Sunshine?

Pair #7 is another Cookie A design, Sunshine. These were knit with Trekking XXL yarn colorway 105

Cozy Socks

Pair #6 are Cozy Up Bed Socks, knit with Cascade 220 Superwash Paints. The design is by Rebecca Perry. This was one of the sock of the month kits from theknitter.com.

Pair #5

Pair #5 is Eunice, from Sock Innovation by Cookie A.
These were knit with Opal Cotton and were a gift for one of my cousins.
I started them July 1 and finished July 30.

Here's No. 4

I'm glad that we're counting socks completed during the plunge, even if they were started before June 1.
That's because this pair was begun in February 2008. They are a gift for someone who lives hundreds of miles away, and I wasn't sure of the foot length. By the time I found out the length, I was busy with other projects and kept putting these off.
Joining the 52PPIII has given me the incentive to finally finish them, so here they are:



They were finished June 30. The pattern is Veil of Leaves by Cat Bordhi. They're knit with Trekking XXL yarn in color 90.

Pair 2 and 3

Pair number 2 is for my little cousin. He's a Batman fan, so I thought this colorway was perfect for him. Simple 2X2 rib socks:




Pair number 3 is knit with Trekking Pro Natura yarn, a wool/bamboo blend. I really enjoyed knitting with this yarn. The pattern is Little Arrowhead Lace Socks by Nancy Bush.

I must be crazy...

I must be crazy. I signed up to do 52 pairs of socks in one year, yet I haven't even knit 52 pairs of socks in my life. I don't know what makes me think I can do it in a year, but I'm going to try. Here's my first pair:



These were a kal sponsored by Wendy at Knitters Brewing Co.
They're knit with Trekking XXL in color 147 on 2.25mm KnitPicks circular needles.
The beads form a butterfly motif.

Edit: These were completed on June 6
