Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

I've been thinking about my ever increasing sock stash and have decided to set myself a target of making at least one pair of socks per month throughout 2007! And as I'm not the only one with a very large sock stash, was wondering if anyone else fancied joining in? we can show our socks each month, and then anyone who manages at the end of the year could gate a sock medal button for their blog or signature????
what do you think?

(can we have some sort of carpentry tuition as well ? I'm going to need more storage for my socks very soon ... sock drawer is overflowing!)

Oooh yes - I'll try and play too. I'm stashing along after Christmas, so this will help the war effort. And my sock yarn stash is really quite small only enough for about a dozen pairs. Very Happy

I'm in tho I'm not sure I can manage a pair every month - might be every 2 months cos I'm trying to make a big thing a month to reduce my proper stash Rolling Eyes

I would love to join, but am not sure if I can knit socks fast enough (unless I manage to get to grips with the 2 circs method). Plus January will be out due to having surgery, but count me in if you don't mind the fact that I'll probably be another one who does a pair every 2 (or 4!) months Very Happy

Join in anyway piglottie, the more the merrier!!!!!

maybe we could have gold, silver and bronze at the end of the year, so those who managed all 12 get gold, 6 gets silver and 3 gets bronze?????
