More Socks!

I am having a hard time stopping myself from buying more yarn and from starting more projects.  I keep thinking of new projects to start and what yarn I need for them.  I need to concentrate on the yarn stash I have currently own and not add to it!

WIPS

1. The Aragorn socks in Wollmeise Twin in Sabrina were not touched this week as I was focusing on the Mae Finch.
2. The Diamonds in the Fluff socks in STR Lightweight in Firebird have not been touched this week either.
3. I did not touch the Featherweight Cardigan in Wollmeise Lace-garn in the Tandoori Masala for the same reasons as the others.  Except because of trades I am thinking of restarting this project in Ruby Thursday.  I may actually use Tandoori for the Evenstar Shawl.

Queued

1. I cannot wait to cast the No More Tears sock pattern from Mommy Needs Yarn that I just purchased.  She made this pattern to help raise funds for the Autism Speaks walk that her family participates in each year.  I am going to use a yarn that I purchased many years ago.  I am so excited to work on them.  These socks require size 1 needle.  It is exciting to finally use a yarn that I have not used before but has been in my stash for such a long time.
2. I received my STR January Club kit!  I can’t wait to cast these on!  I am going to do the sock pattern that came in the kit.  It is very different from anything I have done before, so I am pretty excited.  These socks also require size 1 needle.  I have 2 pairs of size 1, but they are both on projects, one for Diamonds in the Fluff and one for Mae Finch.  I need more size 1 needle.

1. The Mae Finch socks in Fibernymph Dye Works in Witch’s Leggings are complete!  Not only did I want to meet the deadline for these socks, I wanted the needle to cast on something else!  These are my first pair of self striping socks and my first time doing the afterthought heel.

Podcast Notes

1. Dramatic Knits – I am planning on doing some of the CSI KAL socks, but not all of them, so I have to wait and see which sock pattern is next.  But, I did finish the first sock in the KAL, the Mae Finch.
2. Mommy Needs Yarn – She is doing 12 socks in 2012.  I have joined in because I seem to be in a sock mode this year and I want to see if I can do it.  Plus, I have a lot of sock yarn stash and I should use it up!  In the same line, I want to do her No More Tears KAL.
3. Knit 1 Heart Too – They are having a sock KAL right now, so I am trying to get my socks finished for this KAL.  The due date for this KAL is February 29.
4. Knitting Blooms – I have jumped into the deep end.  She is having an awesome KAL in which she chooses the yarn and you decide which pattern to do.  I have caught up with my stash on Ravelry in preparation of this March KAL.
