A Year of Projects 4/52


 Last week, one project got all the attention.  This week I pulled out all my sock WIPs and worked a bit on each during the week.  My goal is to finish all these for sock camp.  That would give me six pairs for camp, plus my daughter’s pair.  (Her pair doesn’t count for camp because the first sock was cast on before June 1st.) Sock Camp runs until August 31st, it’s definitely a stretch goal, but I’m going for it!



Shark Week Socks:  Knitted a few rows.  I’m ready to start the heel flap.  This will be today’s project.

Pattern: Crazy Sock Lady Vanilla Socks on Magic Loop

Yarn: Socks that Rock, unknown color way

Needles: size 1 circular



Bomb Pop Socks: Turned the heel and am now knitting the foot.

Pattern: Crazy Sock Lady Vanilla Socks on 9 inch Circulars

Yarn: Knit Picks Felici dyed with Kool Aid

Needles: 9 inch circulars, size 0



Stripey Socks: I spent a good amount of time on these this week.

No pattern, toe up with afterthought heel.

Various yarns from the Charlotte Yarn Crawl 2019

Needles: size 1 circulars



Morning Coffee. This one has a pattern.  Added a repeat this week.  

Pattern: Crazy Sock Lady Morning Coffee Pattern

Yarn: happy Mermaid Yarn Company, SSC2021

Needles: 9 inch circulars, size 0



H’s Socks. I keep these next to my desk.  I work on them when my students are late or I have a no-show. I had a few late students this week and was able to work on these.  

No pattern, toe up with afterthought heel

Yarn: hand dyed with acid dyes from when I was dyeing

Needles: circular size 1


It’s been hot and humid in North Carolina this week which has been great for crafting time.  BUT I need to get some work done with the landscaping (gardening, weeding, etc).  Hoping for some better weather for outside work this week.  We shall see.

    Six pair of socks completed in 5 weeks? Why not! Looks like you already have a good start on it.

    I like the approach of doing a bit on each project, what a great way to feel like progress is being made.

    Wow - working on so many socks at one time - I would get so confused switching from one pattern to another. Sock camp - something else I have to investigate for the future now all my sock yarn has arrived!

    What a collection of beautiful sock WIPs. Best of luck with your target to finish them all :)

    That's an ambitious goal! But judging by the mostly finished-ness of many of them, a VERY attainable goal! I'm cheering you on.
