Thanks to Scout, the Knit Socks Kit Swap website is up, with lots of information for you to read and dream over until Sunday, when sign ups start. I’ll post information about how to sign up sometime on Saturday night. I’m really nuts excited to be undertaking this, but I know it will be lots of fun, and hey, it will get me to try my hand at sock design! I sort of pieced together my Sockapaloooza socks, but they weren’t too creative…I was concentrating on other new skills (ah, two socks on two circs, my love, my darling).
Dave’s got a new challenge for any takers, too. And he gave me one: to knit a bag sans pattern. I was all impressed because he doesn’t read patterns–and have you seen his knitting?? He pointed out that our ancestors did not have publishers, yet they managed to knit garments. So, yeah, my KSKS pal may get an original PoMo bag. If it turns out looking spiffy, of course!
Guess what my horoscope said this morning? "Knit ideas and people together. Go ahead and act when a light bulb goes off in your head." KSKS is in the stars, baby!
One last thing. If you haven’t already, head over to Carole’s site to donate to her friend doing the 3-Day walk. I participated in 2000, 2001, and 2002. It’s amazing. And the money is well used, with as much as possible going straight to researchers.
Hurray for Beverly! Glad to hear there is so much interest and the swap is on! I’m off to check out the official KSKS site!
You had a great idea! I’m in with Dave, too…now to find some more time to knit!
I’m looking forward to your sign-up! And, I’ll join along in the challenge I gave you: a bag with NO pattern. It’s easy!
I went to Dave’s and got confused. I crocheted a bag without a pattern and want to enter . I don’t see anything there but mitten stuff for the summer. Did I get the right Dave? Help!
