My Traveling Socks Have Returned Home

Our Traveling Sock group is on the Knitters Brewing Company's Ravelry group. As of now there are 14 groups with 8 knitters in each group. Everyone is having such a good time knitting on each others socks, and then having their own socks returned finished.

Way back at the end of September I sent my knitted toes out to travel to the next person on the Traveling Sock Sockinistas group list. Each of 7 more ladies knit about two inches or so to make my socks grow. Here it is the end of January and my socks returned home.

I haven't decided yet whether to join another group now that my socks are home. My carpal tunnel is just starting to improve so I may wait a bit before committing myself. I had a wonderful time knitting on the socks so I'll probably join again.

Here are my beautiful socks. Wish the photo was better but it's a gray day here.

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:
