my humble sock stash
Posted on June 25th, 2006 at 10:21 amI told Julie that I’d show her pics of my stash, so I figured I would share with the class.

Methinks I need a new basket for the sock yarn (and the bits of handspun that I had shoved in there with it.)

Schaefer Anne sock yarn. The one on the right is mine. The one on the left goes to my Kit Swap pal. Pal’s yarn has some turquoise that you can’t see. Very lovely.

Some Lily Chin Chelsea that I was actually trying to make work out for my Ribby Cardi. It was much too thin for the sweater, but I bought it for socks.

Left to right: 1. Some Gems Opal. I used that for my SockapalOOOza socks, but have this whole other hank. 2. Ruby Socks that Rock. Leftover from Clapotis. I have this hank plus most of another. 3. Rockstar Socks that Rock.

1. Koigu. 2. “Seaside” Lorna’s Laces. Prize from Heather. 3. Extra hank of Koigu, leftover from Justin’s socks.

Small stash of Sockotta in manly colors. And black, because I like black. I will be ignoring those that complain about black being hard to knit with.

“Firefly” by Sweet Georgia

“Parrot” Opal, Regia in chunky Hufflepuffy stripes, red Wildfoote.
It is interesting to me that this basket of yarn will seem like mere scraps to a true sock yarn collector, but seem massive and exorbitant to muggles.

Your Schafer Anne yarn is my fave.

mmm. sock yarn. *drool* :)
if it makes you feel any better, I amassed about 50 pairs worth of sock yarn, AT LEAST, before I even started knitting them. and it’s all “for me”.. i have to buy new sock yarn if I’m making socks for someone else. ahahaha :) sock yarn, while lovely, is evil. :D

Sock… yarn… *drool* You pictures of sock yarn make me want to pet my monitor screen. Seriously. That’s got to be some kind of illness right? ;)
