Once Upon A Sock: April Edition

So I heard about this linkup last week...and since I have 10 sock WIPs, I figured I'd join up! So it is hosted by Katherine at Fiber and Sustenance, Paula at Spin A Yarn, Kat at FelintyKnits, Steph at My Making Do Adventure, Kathy B from CompassionKnit, Liz from Knitting From the Hip, Reanna from Knit, Reanna, Knit, Meg of Intergalactic, Lynn of Minding My Own Stitches and my friend, and where I heard of it, Stef from  Stefaniecraftswithwoolpaperfabric.  Whew!  That is a lot of people to tag!

So the picture is of six of my ten sock WIPs....I am on a self stripe kick....and I keep buying self stripe yarn....today I got my Lellow from Quaere Fibre....

My Zombie Valentines are the closest to being done..

Just have the decrease and toe to go.  I am experimenting with contrast heels and maybe cuffs and toes, at some point....This is a vanilla sock in Brazen Stitchery's My Zombie Valentine. They are housed in a Walking Dead bag that I think I got from Brazen Stitchery...It's a small drawstring bag with no tag.

Another pair of Brazen Stitchery socks in the Kiss Me, I'm Irish colorway.  Both are on her Harmony Sock base which is 75% merino, 25% nylon.  I am knitting Vanilla Latte and knitting them concurrently....I am in love with 9 inch circulars and have bought several pairs.

My Hudson Bay socks, knit on Fishknits Yarn Strong Heart base.  It's an 80/20 mix and is so soft!  I am following Susan B. Anderson's recipe from when she made these same socks. It is not published, but on her blog. These are housed in a Gilmore Girls cube bag, I'm not sure who the maker is...

Dia de los muertos by Desert Vista Dyeworks on her Viso base, a 75/25 mix.  These are housed in my Jessalu sugar skulls bag, because.....this one has been on the needles quite a long time...so need to put some work into them....

These were inspired by the Olympic Games flag.  It is Eat, Knit, Dye in Flags and Dreams on her self stripe, a 75/25 base. These also are the Vanilla Latte pattern.

Also Eat, Knit, Dye....a ribbed sock.  I want to do a Fish Lips Kiss Heel, because well...why not, but have to sit down and figure it out....

I also have a Christmas stripe sock, another sock from a KAL, that only has a cuff, an Arne & Carlos sock and my oldest sock, my Kai-mei.....

Next week is my spring break, so hope to finish up at least two pairs then...Thursday night is parent-teacher night, so I will catch up with everyone over the weekend.....
