I am starting my first pair of socks for the month of January (I'm ahead of myself I know). I found some beautiful sock yarn in my stash that has long ago lost its label. It is a lovely variegated yarn that starts as a deep indigo and goes into light sky blue. I am starting the "Socks of Hideousness" pattern by Nicole Okun, it's a lovely pattern that was subjected to some not so nice colored yarn... You can find the pattern on Ravelry for FREE!! Whatever my unidentified blue yarn is it does not seem to have a lot of elasticity, and I'm a little concerned about how the sock will turn out as a result, but we'll see. I have about 1/2" of the ribbing done at the top and it seems to be ok so far.
I am still working on the scarves that I will turn into a throw, I think if I do a series of scarves and sew them together I will have a much better chance at actually finishing a large knitting project. I have also purchased a great sweater pattern and nice yarn from elann.com, one of my very favorite places to get reasonably priced high quality yarn. So 2 projects on the needles and one on the way; knitting for 2012 here I come!
