Again with the behind on Socktoberfest posting.



Here is my sock stash. Isn't it pitifully small?








Lolly's Questions:

Do you have certain patterns planned for some of the yarns? Do you buy yarn and then choose a pattern?

Um, sometimes. The green Opal Gems in the top left is meant to be some leaf lace socks, and some Pinguin I forgot about until just now was meant for a lace pattern. Otherwise, no. When I comes to sock yarn, I go with what makes me happy.

Does a certain sock yarn you have in your stash take you back to a certain event? (where you were when you bought/received it? what was going on in your life at the time!)

Sure. The green/blue ball in the lower right is part of my Dye-O-Rama pal's beeyoutiful gift to me (there's more, but that's what I could find while getting ready for work). The Artyarns came from the Yarn Harlot time at WEBS, while the Lorna's Laces is from KnitterBunny and the Swizzle is from Lisa. I could keep going, but I think I made my point :)


Gathering my wee sock stash together has given me a very important insight: I need more sock yarn. For a while now, I've thought I had a whole lot more than I apparently do. How sadly mistaken I've been, and how much more sock yarn I can buy (I'm holding back an evil laugh). This afternoon I plan to be at Sit N Knit in W. Hartford for Stitchy's talk. Bwahaha!
