No, I am not doing this because I have no other blog fodder...(or am I?) I just thought it would be fun since I've seen others do it, and I have enjoyed the images. So, I'll start with vintage yarn...
ok, here's the list, but not in order by the photo:
1. 4-Bernat 50/50 -wish I could get more of this...ebay hasn't helped
2. 2-Plymouth Wool Ray
3. 1 Bear Brand Evermatch..the navy blue disappeared at photo time
4. 2-Filo D'Oro Filato Acrilico
5. 2- Lady Galt Kroy-...again, I'd love more in some other colors...this one's pretty dull
6. 1-unknown yarn "cake"...if you remember, I'm using this to make basketweave socks
7. 1- Junghans-Wolle Dralon Perle
8. 1- Junghans Fidelio
Now for the current stuff...
1. 6-Lion Brand Magic Stripes
2. 7-Bernat Sox
3. 1-Online
4. 2-Lang Jawoll Jacquard
5. 2-Regia Stretch
6. 2-Regia Silk
7. 2-Regia Fadig
8. 2-Patons Kroy
9. 1-Austermann Step
10. 2-Brown Sheep Wildfoote
11. 12-Cascade Fixation
12. 2-Plymouth Sockotta
13. 4-Lorna's Laces
I figure this is enough for 38 pair of socks! Unbelievable. I knew I stashed, so now I HAVE to knit it up. Part of the problem for me is finding a pattern I like. Any suggestions? I rarely like to use the same pattern once I've knit it ....the exception being Grumperina's Jaywalker. Probably the Fixation will be the hardest to find anything for, and yes, I do look at the ones on the sock knitter's webpage as well as Knitty, and other internet resources. I have been considering getting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush(?) . I hope that's the right author. The other thing I might do is join the 6 sox along. I hear they post patterns there, too. Unfortunately, I'm gonna run...gotta make dinner-Oh, how I HATE to cook!! And, yes, I will be going on Saturday to sit and knit with Kim and A! I can hardly wait!
