Do we hear month o'socks going viral? Nothing could please me more! It has been an exceedingly good month already. I love that we have people who have never knit socks doing so. We have people reading charts and knitting lace socks that have never done so before. Those of us more experienced sock knitters are helping out and then trying something new ourselves. What a great way to end winter!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see those kitri socks complete. They are so beautiful.

Although I'm just hearing about month of socks now, I'm going to focus on just socks for the rest of the month and maybe the first 2 weeks of April. I did just complete a pair, but won't count those as they were finished before I heard about month of socks. But I will seriously give me a chance to finish some UFO's. One is a half finished monkey socks, I finishhd the first sock more than a year ago and a pair of half done through the loops mystery socks, unfished since October. Yikes! I'd better get knitting.
