SockTart Episode Twelve: Shut up and Pass the Wasabi
Wrath of the Lich King started. You have to ask? :)
(forgot to mention that my plurkswap pal has an etsy store...she sent me some gorgeous stitch markers that I'll talk about next time. Go! Now!)
On/Off the needles:
- Aaron's Scarf: We made it to Ball 2 during a rah-rah industry update at werk
- Goldfinch/Nevermore: Just need to settle down & put some time in finishing this off..
- Swan Song Socks: Have to decide who these are going to be for, as I'm not sure exactly how much yardage I have to play with.
- Noro Scarves! Cast on 1st scarf well over 6 months ago & now have the urge to not only finish it off, but also start another one. Found out recently the Harlot's been on a Striped Scarf kick as well. Must be something in the air...
- Noro Striped Socks - I cast 'em on, but I'm not married to 'em. May need a do-over
Talkin' bout: Holiday Knitting
Who should you knit for?
What kind of things I knit for holiday gifts
When should I get started & plan on finishing?
Where should I knit my goodies? Will people catch on?
Why should I knit for the Holidays?
How should I present my finished gifts?
New Socks on the Block
We find & comment on a small handful of recently released/published sock patterns on Ravelry.
Please look ‘em up on Ravelry for links!
Fair Isle Socks by Dana Berman: two-colour contrast geometric pattern. Very pretty!
Christmas Socks by Anne Abrahamsen: Plain white socks with fair-isle christmas ornaments hanging from a branch. Cute!
Bouton D'or Socks by Nicole Masson: Very pretty cable pattern that really does look like rows of golden buttons.
Noro Stripey Socks by Faith AD: Folks have been doing variations on the Noro Striped Sock for awhile. Someone finally wrote down the pattern. The fates are trying to tell us something here...

I just discovered your podcast and have to write to tell you how much I enjoyed listening to it this afternoon. You can bet I'll be downloading some earlier ones. I'm a new sock knitter and have discovered that they are quite addictive...but in a good way! I'm loving it!
Hey--I really like your podcast! But I've listened to everything you've done, and have realized that you haven't been on since November. I hope everything's ok. Maybe you bought that house and you're really busy? I hope that's the case and you haven't gone away.
