Meet Summer of Socks sock 1, Pattern: Whispering Leaf by Lijuan Jing. Pattern from JoJoland designed specifiaclly for their yarn to showcase the long color changes. Yarn: JoJoland Melody Purples Reds and Greens 100% Superwash Wool. Size 1 needles. The pattern is easy, just a series of yo’s and decreases to form the leaves with a garter stitch border on each side. Unfortunately my camera doesnt like the color of the yarn and I only had one patt repeat done here, hopefully when I get more done the pattern will show better.
And last but not least my second pair of cast on socks to start off SOS08…DSS or also known as Desert Sand Socks for Socks for Soldiers. Stats: Yarn, Regia Stretch color number 17. Pattern, Same as the BBS from before only this time I will be using a larger set of needles for the cuff and foot since my gauge was off a tad (I had 9spi instead of the called for 7-8spi) and the other pair ended up being smaller than I had planned. OOPS! These are planned to be Male size 9-10. Oh for this pair I will be making a plain stockinette foot instead of ribbed like the last pair 
The other 3 pair I have been working on for the last 2 weeks are still in various stages of doneness and I will continue to work on them too. At this point I dont have any deadlines for them or any other pairs other than to make as many pair between yesterday and the first of September.
Thats all for todays update and pics. I will be taking pics of all the socks on the needles in the next day or 2/3/5 however many it takes that is…and posting updates. Oh I do have a deadline…The Blended Frog Scallopini Socks have to be done by the 31st of July. Yikes guess that pair should be moved to the top of my list
I will find time to finish them…I will find time to finish them, and every other pair of socks I wanna make this summer….. I will, I will, I will I tell ya
