Are you tired of seeing only socks yet?
Yup, I finished another pair of socks, bringing my total of singles socks down to 2. Definitely more manageable than 5 or 6! This means that in August, I've finished 3 pairs of socks, although I only knit 4 out of those 6 socks during the month.
My last finished pair is this one:
Stats
Sock #1: June 23, 07 - July 10, 07. Sock #2: August 20, 07 - August 25, 07.
Yarn: Yarntini Home Self-Striping
Pattern:Plain stockinette toe-up magic-loop with twisted rib cuff
They're just a couple rows short and a couple stitches not wide enough. But they fit anyways and I don't know many people that have smaller feet then me, so I'll keep them and wear them. I did a twisted rib cuff, my first time doing a cuff like that. Takes forever... The look is pretty cool though.
Right after finishing the Yarntini pair I cast on for 2 socks more :
The one on top is the mate to the Serpentine sock from the Sockamania KAL July pattern. For the toe I used Louet Gems Fingering in Pink Panther along with some pink reinforcing thread.
The second picture is of my first pair of Monkey socks for my Monkey Sock Swap Pal. I decided to do a picot cuff a la mini-Monkey, my pal said she'd like that. I've done two repeats so far and it's a quite pleasant easy knitting project. I'm using the ShiBuiKnits Sock in Mulberry mentioned in the last post.
My goal for September is to finish the pair of Monkeys, the Serpentine socks and whatever new pattern we'll get for Sockamania KAL (Anyone know how long this KAL is supposed to go for?).
2007 will definitely be the year of the sock for me!

Great socks! I'm glad to hear that you've cut down on the number of lonely socks. ;) I just did a sock with the twisted rib. Have you found that it doesn't act as clingy as regular ribbing? I can't tell if it's the type of ribbing or the yarn that's making mine not stay in shape as well.

I just bought some of that Home colorway in variegated to make baby bootees. It's lovely. Mine is much more pastel than yours though. Either that or my monitor is way off.

Those Yarntini socks are great! Maybe you should have a contest for small-footed people. :)

Wow- I really like the self-striping yartini! You certainly should win some sort of sock knitting award :)

Bummer - now I know those gorgeous Monkeys aren't for me cuz I didn't request the picot cuff. Your pal is going to love them.
The Yarntini socks look awesome.
