My goodness, I did not realise that there are so many gorgeous yarn in my stash and many of them would make great socks. I had such a hard time sitting there with most of my stash in front of me and I decided on .......
....... these and then .....
...... some more of these. All these yarn are going into a sock box and I will then choose the next pair of socks from this special box. I am so excited and can't wait to finish my current pair (just the leg of the 2nd sock to go), so that I can start on my next pair.
I also realise that I forgot to blog about this pair of socks that took 2.5 years to finish .......
I started these socks in July 2010 when I went to the Bendigo Show and only managed to cast off in December 2012. They are heeless socks and I used a spiral ribbed pattern. It was a easy pattern and I just keep on knitting until I have a long spiral. I knitted a spiral toe and I love the look ......
I was a little concerned that these socks without heels may not fit well but they fitted perfectly. So why are we still knitting socks with heels ? Something that I need to think about ......

I haven't knit socks for ages! Too many other things to make. Although I do have a sizeable sock yarn stash...lucky it doesn't go off, like food!
You have some beautiful sock yarns in your stash! Aren't you tempted to start more than one pair? Your spiral socks are especially pretty and I am intrigued by their heedlessness. My heels are rough and I like the short-row heel as I can easily replace it.
Oh, you have sock knitting madness too!! The spiral socks are very interesting, and very lovely. I just like the heel though. It makes me feel happy to make the magic of the heel turn happen!!
