This is the Sept/Oct mystery sock for Sock Knitters Anonymous on Ravelry. I knit the largest size minus the beads and I really, really love these. They came out a bit short but that is my fault. I am going to have to knit another pair in a less boring color and give the natural ones to my friend who loves girly things. Thanks Adrienne! :D

Started: 6/30/10

The socks are also nice to work on when Absorba makes my wrists feel like they are going to break off. ;)

I felt bad for only knitting socks for the KAL so I am using 2 projects for April. Unfortunately it is baseball season so socks are the practice and pregame projects and that is all I have been working on. I DO see some "Sox on the Beach" for May tho! :D

I loved knitting with this yarn! It is so soft and squooshy. I want to thank Susan again for being so incredibly generous.

I started the 3rd pair on 1-15 and finished 1-17.


Then I started the 4th pair 1-18 and finished 1-20.



And here are all 4 pairs together!


Now that all of the boring socks are done I can start planning for my Muir Woods socks!

and finished the second pair on 1-14.

The third pair is started but I haven't gotten a picture yet. After 4 pairs of boring socks, I am going to need something interesting!
