Well, that was the yarn and patterns for 12 pair of socks in my own, personal, Pretty Knitty Sock Club, as per the yarn Harlot's instructions! After I had organized each yarn with a pattern, I sealed them in envelopes and put them in a big box. Each month, I would fish out an envelope and "surprise" myself with a new sock project! Then, I went back to that original picture, and noted the "finish date" for each of the sock pairs. . .
. . .and I published that here, along with photos of each of the different socks!
They are not in Chronological order, but here is the order they are in (left to right, and top to bottom), with links to each of my project pages (in case you have missed the reviews throughout the year, or you might like details on any specific pair):
- In the Mood for Monk in May. . .Not
- April Catnip
- Snowflakes in June
- November is a long way off (January)
- December Sa-weet Socks
- August Wickerware
- African Cables for July
- November Marriage Lines
- September Squall Socks
- March through February
- February in January
- October DragonFly Away
Whew! That's a lotta socks! There were even more than that, but these were the sock club, and I feel pretty accomplished that I was able to finish all of them (plus a few other things) last year. . .yay! How was your year? I hope that 2010 was good for you, and I hope that this year will be even better!
Leave me a comment on today's post, telling me a goal you have set for yourslf in 2011. Everyone who leaves a comment before Saturday, Jan 22nd, will be enterred into a drawing for a surprise counter from the shop! Get a second entry by "Liking" Pretty Knitty Jewelry on Facebook, and leaving me a comment here, letting me know that you like me. . .I love to be liked!!!
If you are one of my non-knitting readers (I know there are a couple of you), mention that in your comment, and I will exchange that surprise counter for a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry! It will probably be a pin to dress up your pretty knitty-reading self!
Best of luck to you, readers! Thanks for stopping in, and Knit in Good Health!
I am planning to knit 6 pairs of socks in 2011. I am also taking a crochet class and plan to learn crochet so I can crochet myself a hat. avennett AT verizon DOT net
ReplyDeleteI like you on Facebook as Amy K V avennett AT verizon DOT net
ReplyDeleteThose are some awesome foot warmers! One of my goals for 2011 is to make some crochet jewelry, maybe even with some homemade beads.
ReplyDeleteI like you on Facebook too, I'm Julie Kempton over there!
ReplyDeleteOH my goal for this year...Well I joined the 11 sweaters in 2011...think I can do it? It can be UFOS, WIPS, or new....long or short sleeve. I am hopeful!
ReplyDeletePlus I already liked you an FB a long time ago-when you first started your group I believe!
My 2011 goal is to use up all my stash yarn, learn a new technique, and design a sweater!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting so much accomplished Pam! I'm hoping to do something similar myself. Along with knitting things from stash instead of purchasing more and more and more...
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to complete the socks I've already got OTN. We will not own up to how many pairs this is other than to say someone had to buy a new set of circs...
ReplyDeleteP.S. I believe I've already 'liked' you. (Ah yes, I liked you once, but according to FB, I cannot like you again. *sigh*)
My knitting goal for this year is to knit more from stash and try to be less tempted to buy yarn I don't need, especially when tempted by the green-eyed monster when I see what others are buying!
ReplyDeleteI just joined Facebook yesterday (under protest!), so I think I liked you there, but am still learning to navigate so not sure it took...
My goal is to finish the 3 pairs of socks, 2 shawls, and pair of felted clogs I have on needles. I also want to at least start my first sweater.
ReplyDeleteAnd I already liked you on FB when you started the page.
Comments! Love em. I'm doing my own personal 2011 knit an item a month club, but not exclusively socks since I've got some things I want to get started and finished, since they have been a gleem in my eye for awhie now.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to knit a sweater out of handspun, and make a bigger dent in my stash than last year.
ReplyDeleteGood job on all those socks!
My knitting goal is to knit some of the stuff that's been hiding in my queue for years.
ReplyDeleteMy life goal is to exercise more.
Unfortunately, I can't knit with gloves on or I might be able to knock both out with some long walks around the neighborhood.
My goal is to finish the knitting that I have finally started, and maybe even work my skills up to attempting a pair of socks by the end of the year.
ReplyDelete(Like Cozy, I've already "liked" you on FB, which is how I know about this in the first place)
Wonderful accomplishment of your 2010 goal, Pretty....congratulations!! I believe I will set a goal for myself of clearing up my UFOs and knitting 6 pairs of socks in 2011. *getting to work right now*
ReplyDeleteI just "liked" you on Facebook, but it's under my "real-life" name. If you need confirmation, just let me know. And thanks so much for running another wonderful contest! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to knit up some of the beautiful yarn I have laying around - not stash busting because I don't care about the less than pretty yarn. I guess it would be great to get it sorted out and donate the stuff I just don't want to knit.
ReplyDeletecongrats Pam!!
ReplyDeleteOne of my goals for 2011 is to finish Project 365, so far I have taken a photo for all 11 days (some with my phone, but that still counts)
I need to make some knitting goals, but I do want to knit a bunch of my hand spun this year.
My goal is to knit from my stash. I fall in love with the yarn and don't always have a project in mind when I buy. So now it's time to match those skeins to patterns and get knitting!
ReplyDeleteI have an incredible stash of knitting as well. My goal is to destash by knitting items for a charitable organization I'm involved with. I just finished a scarf and started a wrap.
ReplyDeleteMy knitting goals are to knit myself a cardigan, do some charity knitting, and do some more graffiti knitting.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to knit my first pair of toe-up socks.
ReplyDeleteoooo pretty socks! My goal for 2011 is to knit more cables! I am off to a good start - my first finish for this year is in my blog. I 'liked' you on Facebook too :)
ReplyDeleteMy goal for 2011 is to knit an afghan for myself.
ReplyDeleteI love it! My sock yarn stash is starting to grow so I'll be focusing on working from my stash this year. I liked you on FB too!
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to finish a worsted scrap stash afghan! I'm about 100 rows into it w/ no more than 6 rows of any one yarn. I love seeing the leftover bits of decades of projects go into one item.
ReplyDeletemy goal is to knit hubbys irish cable sweater in the Murphy cable design. I have has the yarn and pattern for 3 years now.... just was intimidated by it but must do it, lol! Love your socks! greatly organized, lol!
ReplyDeleteMy knitting goal this year is to learn some new techniques and knit a sweater or two! With the help of CKW!!!
ReplyDelete"Liked" your facebook page! Love your knitting counters . . .
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to knit more things for more people, & not just for Christmas & birthdays! I want to surprise people with beautiful hand-crafted presents just to let them know that they are loved & thought of!
ReplyDeleteI created my own sock of the month club. 12 skeins of yarn, 12 patterns, one of each in a bag. My goal was to knit from stash, which I have already busted because a KAL I joined I didn't have the right yarn. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to actually finish 12 projects. That's only one per month. Cross your fingers for me -- I'm NOT the world's fastest knitter.
ReplyDeleteMy goal for 2011 is to gain just a little bit more ! lol or, my goal is to meet new people get good grades
ReplyDeleteI don't have a fb so lets pretend i have a like button here

My goal for 2011 is to buy less new yarn and knit more of my stash. I also liked you on FB.

My goal for 2011 is to have fun with my stash and not worry about everything I make being 'perfect'. Also to write more blog posts about all the stuff I make, even when it turns out wonky. - FreckledPast [Rav]
ReplyDeletemy goal in 2011 is to knit socks for the very first time. I LOVE knee socks and have a hard time finding ones that fit comfortably so I intend to find a pattern that works for me and make ten pairs so i will have plenty to choose from.
