"A" is for "Air Raid"






"A" is for "Air Raid"

Well, here we go!  The first of (hopefully) 26 pairs of socks to be completed this year!  I'm quite pleased that I managed to complete these before casting on for "B"!  This free pattern knitted up very quickly, and look great!  They are for my mother-in-law for Christmas, so I hope she likes them. The lacy holes should help the socks breathe well.

I Might Just be Crazy....

I've joined a challenge this year - to knit socks through the alphabet!  The group is on Ravelry.  I've had a real lack of focus with knitting lately, but lots of sock yarn in my stash, so I think this will be the perfect way to get started early on some Christmas gifts, and use some of my treasured stash yarns.  I am going to take the challenge one step further and attempt to use only FREE PATTERNS for my socks - tho that might prove to be more difficult as the more uncommon letters come up -- "Q" "X" and "Z"!  Follow along with me as I progress, and see my success (or failure!)  


Or, even better, why not JOIN me????  We can be crazy together!
