Personal Sock Club Socks #5

A week after I started them, they’re done:

Which meant I could receive the last package.

It contained this:

Well, technically it contained a few balls less. It’s a large batch of yarn for a scrappy sock, and would barely fit into the bag. The bulging of the bag would have made it obvious which sock yarn was contained within, so I took a few balls of yarn out and put them aside.

I have a fancy to knit a different sort of scrappy sock this time. Maybe one with even stripes. Or bands of fair isle mixed in. Or purl ridges. Or maybe even make the main part of the sock reverse stocking stitch.

Hmm. I think I maybe over knitting plain socks.

The ‘socks for others’ sock club idea has been swimming around in my head constantly since I thought of it. Who might I knit for? What sort of patterns should I knit? Do I have good enough yarn?

I’m not sure of the title. I’d stick with ‘Socks for Others Sock Club’ except I don’t like the repetition of ‘sock’. I’ve tossed around ‘Gift Sock Club’ and ‘Generosity Sock Club’. Any suggestions?

  1. No. I’ve never heard of one. And I don’t knit socks out of non-machine-washable yarn!

  2. Grrr, I guess I better knit a swatch…

    That’s probably a good practice, you know socks will end up in the washer before long. I always make them a tad larger for just that reason.

  3. Hmmm, wish I could think of a good name for the new sock club – will think on it!
