Socks! Socks! And More Socks!
Yes, the first Trekking socks are complete (a better FO report on Friday of course). I also cast on for another pair of Trekking seeing as how we’ll be doing a record Trek to Minneapolis this weekend. I have to have Trekking socks on the needles don’t I? This pair is for DH. Two for (or 2.5) for me and one for DH :-)
I do have a little contest up my sleeve. The first pair of Trekking, the completed ones (well the others will need a name too, so if you have inspiration for that as well please feel free), need a name. Some details you might like to know when naming them include the fact that one sock all the mini cables twist to the right and on the other sock they all twist to the left. There are twist all around the sock for about two inches at the top and over the top of the sock just before the toe decreases begin. I like naming my socks after places, though for the right name that can be overlooked (especially since I do have Dimple and Heatwave which are not places). If you provide the name for the new socks or a name that sparks the new name you’ll get a copy of the pattern for free! You have today and tomorrow, as I hope to have a new name to announce in my FO Friday post.
Also, for those musically inclined, what are your top five road trip songs? I’m prepping the iPod for the trip. We’ve ordered a charger and now I just have to decide what 4 GB of music I want to take with and I think I’ve decided to splurge with a *few* iTunes purchases so there is some fresh stuff on there. This part isn’t an official contest, but I may give away a few more of the new pattern if your selections turn me onto someone new I hadn’t really listened to or heard of before.
