Traveling Sock




I belong to a social network called Ravelry. It is a place for knitters and crocheters to meet and discuss what they are creating, ask questions, provide help to beginners, or just have conversations.

In one of my groups (the Knitters Brewing Company forum) we are doing a Traveling Sock round robin. This consists of 8 members who knit a bit on each others socks. We start out by knitting our own toes (the socks are knit toe up instead of cuff down,) send them off to the next person on the list who adds two inches in a pattern and color of their choice. That person then sends her finished work off to the next person and so on. By the time all 8 people knit on the socks they are returned to the owner finished.

I can't wait to see my finished socks when they are returned to me.

Here are the first two I've added on to:

They should be great fun by the time you get them back!

What a fun adventure those socks are having traveling from place to place!

How many hands will have held those socks before they come back home... each stitch lovingly done. Simply wonderful.
Thank you for your kind words during our baby's arrival. So much appreciated.
