Preparing for the Summer of Socks

The Summer of Socks starts on June 21. I'm trying to clear out some WIPs before then. Let's see what I want to get done...

1. Arugula socks. I'm about to start the toe on the second one.

2. Socks for Seely. This is a Ravelry-based project to knit socks to send to David Boreanaz, because his character on Bones always wears crazy socks. I ordered yarn yesterday and should be starting those soon.

3. The baby blanket. Of course. About half done.

4. A light lace scarf I'd like to bring on my cruise in June. That's between 1/3 and 1/2 done right now, I think.

That seems fairly reasonable...

Signing up for Summer of Socks 2008

Thanks to Kung Fu Knitting's post, I just signed up for the Summer of Socks. (Here's the Ravelry group.) I've been trying to avoid knitalongs and stuff for a while, because I just end up stressing myself out about them, but while moving I've discovered (hah!) that I have a lot of sock yarn, and I'd like to actually get some of it knitted up. And this is a nice low-stress sort of knitalong, with no particular number of socks to commit to or anything. I might even have a chance in the Vacation Socks contest, since I'll be taking my socks to the Bahamas. Wheee! Who else is playing?
