Reviving Socks: A Design Contest

—

Have you noticed the absence of socks here at Exercise Before Knitting? In 2007, I made 13 pairs of socks. In 2008, I made 10 pairs. In 2009? Zero. Truth be told, I am over socks. Or was, at least. I have been darning socks like mad lately. If I do not knit a couple of pairs of socks this ...

Meet-ups, contests & projects, oh my!
The A.D.D. Knitter--because why should knitting be any different? — ... This event, the Reviving Socks Design Contest , promises to be a rollicking good time. The mighty Elinor has spent much time and care putting together what promises to be a flat out amazing sock designing extravaganza. You've probably got a design or two just waiting for a reason to see the light of day. This is your chance! The rules are quite easy to follow, the creative feedback you'll get will be priceless and the prizes are unreal. I'm mean, it's Elinor. So it's quality. If you check out the list of judges, you'll see that yours truly will be there, too. Judging you. But ...

get yr sock on
knotty bits — ... I have no idea where the other(s) may be what with our apartment having been torn apart the last week or so. What is wrong with me? Where has my sock knitting mojo gone? I think I can find it, and I think this is going to help me find it. Wanna play along? Go to Elinor's blog and ...

reviving socks
Splityarn — ... I admit it, knitting socks isn’t my favourite thing. Oh sure, I always have one in my purse in progress, but I don’t usually get startitis for socks the way I do for sweaters.

stash, knit, repeat — ... grandmother. Diana herself was the original inspiration for this design. [image] The original plan was for this to be March’s design, but it got bumped a bit by my entry for the Socks Revived design contest. The sweater will be released mid-April, I expect. It’s my hope that you’ll get the pattern for these socks in March: [image] I’m calling them Hootenanny, and the pattern is back from the tech editor and everything. I’m just waiting to finish that second sock before taking pictures and releasing it. We’ll see if I can manage that in the next few days. What else has ...

FO and Pattern: Hootenanny.
stash, knit, repeat — ... announced her most awesome, excellent contest . The “cutevil” owls adorning Hootenanny are the result of a gmail chat conversation with someone who mentioned that they couldn’t be arsed to do “much more than plain stockinette these days”. I wondered: Could I make a mostly-stockinette sock with enough interest to be fun, and enough mass-appeal to do well in the contest? [image] How well they’ll do in the contest is anyone’s guess, but I think Hootenanny fits the bill for a sock pattern with a smidge of interest and cuteness, but enough stockinette that you can bring them to a ...
