Sockapal Huh? Wha?


Oh yea. Sockapaloooza. I joined that. I figure I better get a move on knitting these suckers. So I’m taking them with me when I go out of town tomorrow. They’re the only sock yarn that’s coming with me. The only sock yarn. gulp. That’s okay though, there’s only about a month and a half til I send these off. I was very undecided as to what to knit. Pattern? Yarn? So many ideas. I think though that I’ve made a good choice, a solid choice. Koigu. KPPPM for the body, and KPM for the heels and toes. Can’t go wrong with Koigu. Koigu from the stash, no less. Simple pattern. Either Straight Stockinette, or a 2×2 ribbing. We’ll see how adventerous I get.

    Still a month and a half before mailing? I already finished! Maybe I can knit my pal a little something extra!

    I’m loving the Koigu you’ve picked – very lucky sock pal indeed! I can’t wait to see the finished socks.

    I purchased a skein of your Midnight Knitter colorway and did the Dublin Bay Socks – there a photo on my blog. http://diamondsnpurls.blogspot.com/2006/02/hellur.html

    I loved that yarn and can’t wait to knit myself a pair of socks using the Neopolitan colorway I bought for myself!

    That yarn colorway is beautiful! Now, for the real reason why I found your blog…..MORE Vesper sock yarn PLEASE! You are talked about, drooled over, loved around blogland. So, I guess that means I need to try it out! When, When, When???? (Sorry, I’m being an annoying stalker.) Have fun on your trip!
