I don't recall seeing anyone post about this but forgive me if I just don't
remember. If anyone is interested in doing a sock knit-along with, oh, like
1000 other people this summer, then you might want to check out
http://zarzuelaknitsandcrochets.com/blog/?p=394. You do not have to have a
blog but if you don't have one you need either a Ravelry or a flickr account
to post pictures (I'll be using Ravelry since I am still, sadly, blogless).
The sign-ups close tomorrow.

I haven't done this (or any other online knit-along) but it seemed like a
fun way to find out about other sock patterns and yarns. I've started
collecting since I noticed my sock yarn stash was down to 2 pairs-worth. I
bought 2 skeins from Ravelry's FSOT board already and just got a birthday
gift certificate to my favorite LYS so will be picking up a couple more
skeins in the very near future.

Is anyone else doing this?

A little afraid of what I've gotten myself into,
LauraJ

Oooh, I'll have to check that out come October! I've heard of it but have
never participated and don't know much about it.

I'll probably participate in an unofficial capacity. I have no blog, am
not on Ravelry, and am too inept to figure out how to use our digital
camera anyway. I've been on a bit of a sock binge anyway, and I'm
currently participating in Sock Wars III - still waiting for
confirmation of my first kill <g> - so I think I can knit nothing but
socks for the summer.

How did you like the Sock Wars pattern? A couple people in SoS have said
they are currently doing Sock Wars and didn't enjoy the pattern and are
hoping to be killed off soon. But then someone else said she did like it.
I think Sock Wars sounds like a great concept but I know I couldn't take the
stress!

I am totally amazed that the person who "won" SoS last year knit 42 PAIRS of
socks in 3 months. I think my shoulders would fall off! I didn't join for
the competition but for the enjoyment of sharing patterns and meeting
like-minded knitters. The # of sock patterns in my queue has multiplied
severalfold since I started chatting with them all.
