sock yarn obsessed
Here is my attempt to use up some sock yarn.
Before. I was going to make matching socks for
robogock and myself.
After. Tada! A baby sweater and socks for Moneta and Ethan's month-old baby, Adina. Moneta hasn't seen this yet and I'm giving this to her on Wednesday.
This is the back. I wanted the stripes to occur at the same frequency so knit it from two balls, switching in the middle (where you see the seam). This took a whole bunch of tries and is still visible, but I like the effect.

Front and back of a sub-par attempt.
The beginning: the front.
And, of course, a close-up of the socks.
I've spent all day looking at other people's stashes (on Ravelry) for sock yarn. I'm utterly obsessed and really don't need any more. This is my sock stash as of July 3, 2007. There's a bit more now and some of it is gone.
Clearly, I need to knit faster.
