Your grafting is beautiful! And look at that sock stash. My personal feeling is you can never ever have too much sock yarn. Well, or really any yarn. Or needles. Or books. But especially sock yarn!

You have reached the next level,grasshopper. ! :0)

You are getting on with your socks. This will be my year to actually wear my first proper pair and not just collect sock wool!

Your sock looks great!

You're making me want to make some. You're such an enabler!

Have fun!

I see one sock of many, they are terribly addictive. Great looking sock!

Its great to hear that you're willing to admit stashing sock yarn before knitting socks at all. Personally, I find that stash creates incentive.

Yay sock! I love Kitchener...it is truely amazing, don't you think?

Kitchener was one of those things that took my brain forEVER to wrap around initially, but then once I got the flow, wasn't it FUN!? And isn't the result amazing!?

I am so proud of your sock making. I've never got the hang of it although with all this sock knitting over here and swapping over at alisons I'm tempted to make 2005 the year of the sock. although I think I said that last year, and the year before that!

you've caught the bug! no second sock syndrome for our Froggy Dear!

I think we all have socks on the brain these days - yours look fabulous! I can't wait to find out who my sockapaloozee is so that I can start a pair, too.

I'm making a pair of socks out of some Opal yarn right now myself. I love the feel of it. Your socks look great! I had used the link at www.knittingatknoon.com to learn kitchener myself.

Thanks for the kitchner links!

Gotta agree with Cassie: I have sock yarn (that she helped me pick out, I might add) in my stash. I take it out, finger is lovingly, longingly. Pop over here and see how well you're doing and say, Yes! I can make socks! Soon. I hope.

On Kitchener: I read about in three different books and had no freakin' clue. Watched a video (a different one though) and there it was! Beautiful! Don't you love it when things click?

I did my first kitchner on my socks just the other night. Isn't it great when things work out!

I'd love to get good at Kitchener...I keep trying but usually default to the star toe. It's a sock knittin' year from the looks of it.

KnittingHelp.com is definitely an amazing site. I work as a knitter at A.C. Moore and I always send the newbies to that site for the times when I'm not there to help them.

Looking good! On my first ever sock the kitchener didn't go so well. The first time it was way too tight and looked weird. Now it's a little looser, but still looks weird. Nice mini stash you've got going there! I have just about as much and I'm still on my first pair. I have lots of orders though :)

What a fab work on the kitchener! And it seems you're not suffering from second sock syndrom ;) Love your sock yarn stash too!

Dang, that toe looks gorgeous! Aren't socks so fun?? I'm actually using some of my recently acquired sock yarn for a pair of opera gloves...sock yarn is so useful! Yay!!

Pretty toes! Those are great socks-to-be colors. Seeing yours look so good motivates me to pick up my half finished socks and get knitting. Finally, thanks for the how-to link.

gorgeous work! man, i haven't made a pair of socks since i first learned how, but you knitblogging sockers make it sound like so much fun. i may have to succumb to sock fevah!

Fast as usual, Froggy. I love that wristers pattern, but I'm not sure I would wear them. As long as you choose something you will actually wear, go for it!

I genuflect at your altar of kitchener. I'm not worry.

Hi ! You are realy a clever knitter. Your kitchener looks great. Althought I've knitted 5 pairs of socks, I used 3 needle bind off for the toe only. I think I really need to learn kitchener ASAP.

Happy knitting !

Eva

Hi Froggy :) Lovely Kitchener stitch--I know the 2nd will be great too! ... and look at all that lovely yarn that you can play with next!

Have a lovely weekend!!! :)

You inspired me, dear Froggy! I CO for my first sock last night!

Your finished sock is beautiful, of course. Can't wait to see Froggy Action Feet FO pics. :)

That's some da*n fine kitchener-ing, btw.

Congratulations on developing a lifelong sock passion!

beautiful! i'd vote for wristers now that you've almost finished the pair of socks. btw, saw you were nominated for a bob award--congrats!

Hi Froggy...nice socks. I really need to make some for my 'baby' =)

I had a look at the knitting.help link you wrote about, and I added it on the HK knitalong blog. I've just finished off the first arm, and I've sewn it on the sweater. I also started on the second arm...I soooo want to have it done by tomorrow night, but we'll see =)
