SIPs

SIPs = Socks in Progress

I have been sorting out my socks. Since starting the 12 pairs in 12 months challenge I have become rather fixated on socks. Planning what patterns and yarn to use. Casting them on, admiring them, having fun. The problem is that I have not always completed each month's challenge, the end of the month comes round and I have to start new ones for the new month.

This means I have lots (more) unfinsished socks. I have begged them all up to try and shame myself into finishing some. But - it's the beginning of the the month again and a new sock needed to be cast on - shame on me!

So - let the shaming begin (this has become quite a theme of my blog...)


Yarn: Opal
Pattern: Plain 2x2 rib
State: Approx 60% through Sock 1



Yarn: Regia (I think)
Pattern: Vanilla
State: One complete, one not started



Yarn: Not sure
Pattern: Vanilla
State: Sock one approx 40% done




Yarn: The Yarn Yard
Pattern: Vanilla
State: Sock one complete, approx 25% of sock two



Yarn: Schoppelwolle
Pattern: Vanilla with stocking stitch curl top
State: Sock one complete




Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug
Pattern: Vanilla
State: Sock one 50% complete



Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug
Pattern: Vanilla
State: Sock one complete, sock two - 30%



Yarn: Ermm - pink shiny stuff
Pattern: Baby
State: Sock one complete, sock two - 20%



Yarn: Remains of schoppelwolle flying saucer
Pattern: Baby
State: Sock one complete




Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug
Pattern: Vanilla
State: Sock one complete - but I think a small child has worked on it so need some darning



Yarn: Yarn Yard Clan in Daffodil
Pattern: Vanilla
State: Sock one complete



Yarn: Lorna's Lace
Pattern: Vanilla
State: Both socks complete but one toe has come undone - so need to fix it - not even worn them yet!



Yarn: Yarn Yard - Magic Carpet
Pattern: Vanilla
State: About 50% of feet done




Yarn: Schoppelwolle
Pattern: One vanilla with a frilly top, the other circle sock
State: Sock one complete, sock two - approx 30% - going to have to buy another ball or have mismatching socks - whoops.



Yarn: Sassy Stripes
Pattern: Vanilla
State: Sock one complete - sock two cast on - but may frog it and restart so it will count as a 12 in 12mths sock



Yarn: Yarn Yard - Cairn
Pattern: Toe up gansey sock
State: About 30% through sock one



Pretty shocking line-up huh? The awful thing is I have a few more somewhere and it does not include the first of this month's socks - a Leyburn in Regia Kaffe Fassett.
