July Socks
So far this year, I have had a vague aim of finishing at least a pair of socks a month. It's not a firm goal or anything, but the realisation that even if I manage this, it will still take at least five years to work through my sock stash, has sort of kept me to it so far.
January's socks were the Shibui socks, February's project (just barely) were my Baudelaire's, and March's were Emily's Monkey socks, although they weren't finished until early April. April's socks were the Anastasia socks for my Mum for Mother's Day, and in May, I knit David some Opal 6 ply socks, and June's project was the gorgeous Kitri Socks.
It's 10.45pm on July 31. There's still time to finish my Patonyle socks this month!
(If I get off the computer, that is.)

Good work! I always think of setting a goal like that for myself, but then I get distracted by some new shiny thing. :)
Posted by: Marlena at August 1, 2008 12:37 AMOoooo, those are pretty! I'm not finding the pattern on Ravelry; is it yours? (If not, where'd you find it? I love little socks-with-hearts...!)
Posted by: CraftyGryphon at August 1, 2008 01:34 AMOoh they look lovely. Perhaps I need to start doing that too since I have acquired quite a bit of yarn lately.

Posted by: 2paw at August 1, 2008 11:43 AMThank you Donna - aaah 5 years - I had never thought of it like that , I had better stop buying and start knitting - FASTER.
Love the socks.
That's a good goal to have & it looks like you have been achieving it so far. 5 years to get through your stash - oh dear, I will have to count my stash - I hope that I will still be able to knit when I am 70!
