Aloha!

Hello everyone! How are you? I'm super!As in, SUPER EXCITED to participate in Sockapalooooza! This is the second time I have participated in Sockapalooza. The first time was last year and it was a really GREAT .


I hail from Hawaii: home of hot beaches, exotic flowers, and rush hour traffic (yes, we have that, too).I started making a Monkey sock using Yarn Pirate merino & tencel sock yarn in the Sadie colorway.

Based on my pal's color preferences, I think she might like this one so I will finish the first sock before I decide if it is good enough for my pal.

There are still three more months before I actually have to send out her socks, so there will be plenty of time to knit more potential pal socks and get to know her better through her blog. I'm excited...!

Ooh! I almost forgot!


You can peek in on my blog here if you like. I promise I'm not this nuts. I am just bored and I got new sunglasses. I think they're a little to big for my face, but I love them!

Hi everyone, this is Faith from The Knitting Cook podcast. I participated in Sockapalooza for the first time last year, and I'm so glad to be part of this again! I cannot believe how huge this knit-along is. I think that this group blog is a great idea, because it will help to centralize the whole effort.

I've created a "secret" email account for myself, and have started emailing with my giftee. I didn't do that last year, and was sad that I hadn't made the effort. The more participation, the better! I hope to be able to get to know my giftee's likes, dislikes, and choose the perfect yarn and pattern for the socks. I want this swap to be really special for my pal.

My plan is to use some yarn that I've never even handled before, so I'm pretty excited to order it! More to follow...

In the spirit of all things socks, here's some recent stash enhancement I've done for no reason other than that I'm feeling excessively "sockish" as of late! (??!)
