(Now that I’ve gifted the secret knitting, I can tell ya’ll what I’ve been up to!) I know my math skills are atrocious but stick with me here. I started off with 2 skeins of Socks that Rock Medium weight in Boysenberry purchased at Maryland Sheep and Wool 2006 and 1 skein of Rhodonite purchased at Rhinebeck 2006. Some of these socks have never been blogged about. (sneaky, sneaky!)

So, even though I can’t do math in my head with out making a face or using a calculater 2+1 does = 6

Oh my gosh I love that family shot, so cute! Don’t you feel incredibly productive?
Oh I don’t understand how you find time and energy for all that. Wonderful socks and a lovely picture of all your happy feet.
Have a great weekend 🙂
Everyone in beautiful pink socks! Can I be part of your fambly so I can have pink feetz too? kthxbai.
That sock pic with all the feets is so cute! Isn’t it great when you get a lot of mileage from a single skien (or two)!!
You sure know how to make those skeins count, don’t you!
What a lucky family to have you to knit socks for them. I wish I loved to knit socks that much. But with a family where everyone has large feet, I lose motivation pretty quickly. The family feet picture is too cute. And your math is perfect! 🙂
Yup! I do love my socks. If only the temp. would drop below 80 (well probably 70 or 60 would be better) I’ll be able to wear them without having a hot flash! ha ha ha
It was so much fun seeing everyone this last weekend. Dinner at Quaker Steak and Lube was a lot of fun too!
Love ya, Mom
Wow that’s a lot of socks. 🙂 I love that pretty pattern on yours.
I love all those pink socks!
love the last picture with all the socks! So cute! And how productive and cost effective of you. I wish I used up my sock yarn better. I just keep it for darning and think “Maybe I’ll make some baby socks” every so often.
what a wonderful sock family! That is amazing… all those socks from that yarn!
