I have some more socks here, pairs 94 through 99. I closed the toes on pair 100 this morning and I'm on the toe decreases for pair 101. They'll probably get closed this morning also but then I have to cast on a new pair. Anyway, here we go.
I got a headstart on the Akkol sock challenge and knit up a few pairs. My goal this year is to wash them as I finish them and label sizes and put them away. Unfortunately the database isn't up yet so I can't do that yet.
This yarn is delicious! I can see myself getting more of this in the future. It seems like forever since I bought yummy sock yarn. I think I bought one skein in the last six months, since I bought my house really. But the unintended yarn diet is for a very worth cause :)
Oops, side tracked. This is Lace Wing and the color is Field of Dreams. It's superwash merino and I think I knit it up quite tightly, in the neighborhood of 10 inches per stitch.
This is Opal in the Flamingo color. I'm not sure how I acquired this as I don't usually go for pink, but what the heck.

You guessed it! More socks. All for me, yum.
These are Opal Chameleon. I ended up with a great fit on these.
These are Wildfoote Columbine. That was my first experience with Wildfoote. I definitely like it. Will use again. And reasonably priced too.
These are Interlacements Tiny Toes. Now I said in the past that they don't feel good on my feet, but they feel much better after a wash job. These, however, are marked the same dye lot and the socks from two different balls have a slightly different coloring to them. That kinda bugs me. Not enough to do anything about it, but when you pay for premium yarn you expect the best quality, you know?

These are the last of this year's bunch for Akkol. Now onto the yucky part - washing, drying, and tagging.

Here are some more socks for Akkol -
I have two more pair knit up that I haven't photographed yet. Then I think we are done for the year. How's that for 500+ pair for a small group of motivated people? Woohoo! I think I will take a break but I'll probably start up again before the sock challenge is officially open. So now I just need to wash those socks and find some kind of card for them. I think post cards are recommend but I believe I have 34 pair here and that could get a little pricy so we'll see. Maybe I can do some post cards and some holiday cards.
Tomorrow I'm bringing home a new little furball. I think my knitting time will be affected. Bummer.. :)

Alright, here it is, my once a month update.
I have a few pair of socks for Akkol. Orange isn't my favorite color but the price was right. Hopefully the kids like it.
This is Interlacements Tiny Toes. I've never seen this stuff in stores. The colors are so deep and rich, yum. This one is the African Violet colorway. The yarn itself doesn't feel great but then I'm getting used to merino..
This is Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in the Mixed Berries colorway. I'm thinking LL's is my favorite yarn. It doesn't wear the best from my limited experience but it seems to work okay for me as I sit a lot. I may go down a needle size in the future but so far not a problem.
And yes, that is different carpeting. I've moved. I love it.

I finished an afghan. I honestly can't remember when I started it. I wasn't happy with the size as I was knitting it so I stalled for a long time. Once I took it off the needles it looked better. The weight of the piece made it look quite narrow but it isn't so long and skinny. Had I known I would have knit longer. Double stranded Lion Brand Pound of Love. Unfortunately I have almost two whole skeins left. Yikes, what am I gonna do with all that cream yarn?
One lone baby hat. I decided to put that big skein of yarn away while I was cleaning the living room so eventually there will be more.
The cat decided to help me wind some yarn. He actually wasn't making much of a mess so I let him be.
A few more pair of socks for Akkol. As you can see, I did manage to get the purply Cascade 220 into a ball.
