OMG. I love the sock display!

I knit a bunch of tiny sweaters to hang on a garland on the Christmas tree – but those socks are fabulous!

I love my yarn closet, though right now it is less yarn storage and more everything that we needed to stash away during a party storage. I’m hoping to finally get off my duff and start organizing everything so I can use it as I intended. With shelves like those, I would happily place my yarns out so they could be more easily admired!

Sheri – you need to find someone who also has single sock syndrome who has the same size foot as you! Then after you knit one, send the yarn to your partner. They can knit your second sock for you. In return they knit themself one sock and send you the remainder to knit the second one of their pair. That way you get 2 socks but you never have to knit the second sock!

Hi Sherry,

Got your Club package on Saturday morning just as we were leaving for an outlet shopping excursion to….Lancaster PA…The birthplace of the gorgeous note cards. I thought it was extremely amusing.

To build on Sue S’s idea…do a lottery and the lottery winners knit your second sock in exchange for a place in the Spring Fling! You’d probably get as many lottery entries as you get posts when you announce a contest that includes a skein of Wollmeise as the prize.

I am equally as guilty of knitting single socks and moving on to a more enticing yarn or pattern. I have about 10 single socks at the moment. Periodically , I force myself to finish the single socks before I start anything new. I do however store the socks, pattern and remaining yarn together in baggies so I know which pattern I used on the first sock.

I do have a solution for your single sock display – have a sock knitting class- use one of the single sock patterns as the project – you or whomever is teaching the class can start the second sock as the class knits along.

I think your single socks make a great wall decoration for your The Loopy Ewe brick & mortar store. It is usable, too, in that it models various patterns and yarns and colors for people, to see what they prefer. That all being said, it does not have to be permanent, so if you decide you want to knit the second sock, to make a pair, you can just take the one down, and knit the second one, so you have a quick finished pair!

I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend! We had a wonderful week before, plus a great 3-day weekend, the first most around here can remember. In fact, our local weathermen said, “we hope you enjoyed your one-week of summer” for this year, which truly it was. What a bizarre summer, here in Michigan, but it went out in style, for sure!

I think the sock wall is inspiring. As for having to test all the new sock yarns by knitting single socks, now that takes real self-sacrifice and dedication. Somebody should give you a medal, that’s how I see it!
