Striped Socks

Nobody has posted on here for ages...and since I have a related project currently underway I thought this was a good place to post - just in case anyone ever checks it!  I had a whole bin full of leftover bits of sock yarn in a variety of colours and quantities.  And, I have a fairly large demand for hand-knit socks...so I decided that while I am in Florida this year, I would take all those bits with me and make them into socks.  Of course, this project lends itself to striped socks.  So I began.....here is the first pair I made....

My plan is to finish six pairs and then send notices via e-mail to the people who are usually looking for socks.  I will offer them up for bidding...first come...gets first choice.  I won't post any photos until I have given away each pair.  This is happening on my own blog squeegieandtaffy.blogspot.com.  I have completed the first six pairs and five of them were chosen by various people.  Strangely - this pair, which I really liked, is still available - nobody chose them.  Some of my regular sockaholics didn't realize that they could get a pair for free...so didn't notify me.  I am having so much fun doing this, I now have five pairs in the stash.  As soon as I finish the pair I am working on I will be starting a new Sox Giveaway.  I'll post a picture each day of the previous six pairs...and see if anyone is still reading this blog....if they are, they are welcome to join in the Giveaway.
