Im currently in something of a sock rut! They have been on the needles for AGES!!! I was wondering if anyone wanted a semi knitalong to help encourage me to get these finished?
It doesnt matter what pattern you are working on… just that it is making slow progress!

Count me in, I have 3 pairs OTN that I would like to finish soon but have just lost my mojo with them confused

One pair are plain, on the 2nd sock just up to picking up the gusset stitches.

One pair are Tumbling Block socks, just on the heel flap of the 2nd.

Just about to cast on the 2nd of a pair of Waving Lace socks from 25 Favorite socks!

Come on Laura, you can do it :D

I’ve got two pairs to finish, one pair is about 2 inches done (the cuff) and the other is yet to be started… but I know that as soon as I do start them I’ll find something else to distract myself :(

Count me in!

Progress report!!
I figure that by adding a pic I would be making some kind of commitment to finishing this sock… or at the very least showing improvement! I wonder if there will be any noticeable difference after the weekend?!

Annoyingly, I had to frog my pretty sock the other day :(

I’d got about two or three inches into the ribbing and all was well when I stopped paying attention and accidentally dropped a stitch off the needle. In trying to pick it up again I just managed to scruff up the yarn and get it all tangled together to the point that it was un-saveable (if that’s a word?). Still, at least it’s one less project to worry about I suppose!

Noo, luckily I was about to frog it all so have only lost about a metre or so, I think (the bit around the tangle!) smile
