Blog Luv: Susan B. Anderson
I spend way too much time on Ravelry which is a confession that probably most knitters make daily. But knitters are a visual bunch, and we get our inspiration from seeing other knitters' gorgeous projects, yarn dyers' brilliant colors, and designers' breath-taking creativity. I'm easily inspired (which I think is a good thing), and I collect tidbits of inspiration from most everywhere I look. Your blogs are no exception and the other day, as I was contemplating my new stash of hand-knitted socks, I came upon Susan B. Anderson's post about her drawer full of socks. There is no way a knitter can't be inspired by this post and her fabulous photographs of those yummy socks.
So, to keep myself excited about my sock knitting, I took a photograph of my stack of socks, and love how they look together, all washed and gently blocked. I'm nowhere near a drawer full of socks, but I'm more than happy to reach that goal in the coming months!
I think wearing handknit socks is like a hug.
ReplyDeleteOne pair at a time, Evelyn

Thanks for sharing (and the suggestion of socks for me)! I ended up bringing some lace weight and vague plans for a simple knit, since I have yet to catch sockitis, but I'm sure it will happen at some point :)
ReplyDeleteHaving a drawer full of hand knit socks is a goal for me too! Isn't it inspiring to see them all together. You've done well to rack up four pairs in such a short space of time! You'll have that drawer full in no time.
ReplyDeleteOh it's my dream to have a drawer full of handknit socks!! And Ree's too. I'm working on a pair for her right now!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, that makes a really pretty photograph!
ReplyDeleteI do have a drawer full of handknit socks, but it's a mess - I would never show it to anyone, LOL!
I'd love to have an entire drawer full of hand knit socks one day. I'm up to 1.5 pairs at the moment!
ReplyDeleteYou are off to a great start!
ReplyDeleteYou will soon enough! Socks take me soooo long. I did a pair and haven't had the urge to do it again. But it will be fun seeing your progress!
ReplyDeleteHow inspiring! I'm so glad you shared that -- I don't know why I'm not reading her blog.

ReplyDeleteI'm having a commenting problem :-) I was trying to also say that you'll have a drawerful too before long! Lovely pile there.
ReplyDeleteLovely sock stack! This is making me want to cast on some socks...
ReplyDeleteI am a follower and fan of Susan. Her sock drawer was awesome. You have a nice growing stack as well.
