How to make crazy Socks

1. Gather all those leftover bits of sock yarn. They should all be about the same weight.
2. Put them all in a bag. Nothing clear or see through.
3. Take out your first bit of sock yarn and start to knit. When you have used up that leftover, pull out another and keep knitting. Remember to use whatever yarn you pull out. Doesn't matter if they don't match, the sock will look good in the end.

Please note: If there is a lot of leftover from one particular sock yarn then keep the strip to about 2 inches/5 cm. Use whatever sock yarn you pull out next, with one exception: mixing colours is best, so if you pull out a yarn that is similar in colour to the one you just used you may put it back and choose another. I was going to show you the other pair of crazy socks I had knit, but the teen went into the clean laundry pile this a.m. and is wearing them to school.

I was told that Kaffe Fassett uses this blind picking method for colour work. So I guess that great minds do indeed think alike.:)

For all of you who are participating in the Southern Summer of Socks or those who just like crazy socks, you MUST check out this pattern for Rainbow Socks. They are so on my to do list now.

Gotta finish the Jane Ellison sweater first...must not deviate.....don't look at the socks...your plate is already full.....don't look at the socks.......to much to do already......I looked at the socks.....

The Other Day

There I was minding my own business, fondling yarn in a wool shop......
ME: Woolworth, I know it's soft, but get out of there.
Great, just great. A sheep with expensive tastes!!!
