You’re joining the movement, awesome! Please don’t tell the other member that I bought another skein of sock yarn…

Slip-stitch patterns are great for those pesky variegateds – I made a pair of Mad Color Weave socks last year, and I’m planning another pair for some wildly variegated yarn in my stash.

Well, i think you (and your blog) are excellent as well! I heart CTH sock yarns.

Well, with a pile of yarn like that, I’d head right for the Mad Color Weave pattern – I think it would be smashing!

Congrats on the award! You definitely deserve it. Oh, and btw, there’s a little something waiting for you on my blog.

Congratulations on your award! I heartily agree. E for Excellent. And thanks for your kind nomination. I have two cats in my life…they are well behaved and stay away from the yarn so extra catnip for them! I love my pets.
I have a bunch of variegated yarn too. Probably will end up as simple ribbed socks or that Uptown Boot sock pattern in Favorite Socks that has staggered cables.

How exciting and what an honor! Thank you, Brenda — I’ve enjoyed your blog from day one.

Congratulations to the other “E” nominees and to you for your fitting Excellence award from Sallee. I love the blogs that feature kitties but one of the four of us is allergic and we don’t have any feline cuties. We do however have Sassy, our yellow lab. She’s a joy – very smart and she doesn’t bother my knitting EVER.

Congrats on your award. Well deserved! My gosh, just the idea that 12 pairs of socks would use up the stash nearly made me fall out of my chair. If only I were that well self-controlled!

Good luck with your sock knitting quest!

You really do deserve your award! And thanks so much for nominating me! *stubbing toe in the rug, blushing*

I believe I have some LL in Ravenswood in my stash…
