My current socks are started from my old stash, so they can count as my first pair - can't they?

Anyway, great idea! I have two sock patterns I'm dying to try: the Herringbone in IK Winter (it's also in that new book, socks with handpainted yarn), and the L one that the Harlot is making now... I can't think of the name... But both work great with yarns that are multi colored.MadMadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550335108031470562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616565.post-76038058535202496742009-01-13T13:14:00.000+11:002009-01-13T13:14:00.000+11:00Gidget is so right about needing surprise packages...Gidget is so right about needing surprise packages.

I have relatively little sock yarn stash, but I don't want to accumulate more, and I also need to build up my sock-knitting skills. But I suspect I have at least enough for 6 pairs (there's always more than you think), so I could do one every two months. I think I'll need public commitment via my blog and regular checking-in to make it happen!LynShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13724603965512647078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616565.post-35115399254632406302009-01-13T12:02:00.000+11:002009-01-13T12:02:00.000+11:00Thanks for the brilliant idea!

But I didn't do it--I had a list of other things I wanted to get done. Perhaps I'll do it for 2010!!
