As a mentioned a few posts back I decided to take the 52 Pair Plunge. It started June 1 and ends June 1 '09. Basically your supposed to try and knit 52 pairs of socks with in the year. This breaks down to a pair of socks a week. I know it sounds a little crazy but baby and kids socks are counted as well so don't be alarmed if you see a few baby socks knit from left overs here on the blog. I'll just have to find some babies to give them to or a place to donate.
Anyway I finished my first pair on Sunday. So it was almost exactly a week and I did knit on few other things in between.
The yarn is Zen String "Living Light" and the pattern is the Caterpillar socks from Knit Spot. The pattern is hard to see because of all the pooling.
You can kind of see the pattern in this shot taken with out the flash. The pattern was really fun quick and easy but not boring. I will knit these again but maybe with a more solid color yarn.
Pair #2 was started on Sunday night
This is another of Anne's patterns the Spectator socks knit in Shibuiknits "Wasabi. These are and end of the year gift for my daughter's teacher. She was really great this year and did a lot to prepare both the kids and the parents for middle school next year, so I thought that deserved some handknit socks. I have one more repeat and then I'll be done with the legs this is another beautiful, fun, easy, but still interesting knit. That's why I love Anne's patterns sock patterns so much. I'm sure I'll be knitting many more of hers over the course of this year.
Have a great night all!
