Catchin' Up

Wow! Am I the only one left doing this Socks from Stash thing? That's so sad. And I haven't been doing it all that well. I'm not knitting a pair of socks a month. My knitting time is not what it was last year, or the year before. But I am still continuously knitting socks. They're just taking longer to get done.

Since my last post I've finished 2 pair.

Hi There!

I am so glad I found this group because I need to commit to digging into some stash. It's quickly accumulating at an alarming rate. I started these the end of December with just such an intention in mind. They are Cable Socks knit with some Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Baby that I bought ages ago for the purpose of knitting my first socks. Ooops. The pattern is from Debbie Bliss' Home book.
Now that I have a goal, I've gotta start making some plans for next month!
