Not to be confused with a foot race, three legged race, road race. In fact, I think I would be hard pushed to break a sweat with this race.

But I have committed to not starting another pair of socks until at least two of these four are finished and ready to adorn someone's feet.

Check out Ravelry (or Flickr) for the specs.

Lot's of time on Ravelry here lately. Anyone besides me just luuuuurve Ravelry?

Hey Leah! Those are beautiful socks, and I almost jumped up and down when I saw you had a new post in bloglines! Don't stay away so long next time. =0)

Those are beautiful and well worth finishing!

I particularly like the Traveling Vines socks. Those would be the first ones I'd finish.

And, yes, I spend so much time on Ravelry that it's cutting into my knitting time!

Hey lady! It's good hearing from you! All your socks in progress are awesome and I'd have a hard time picking which one to finish first. So pretty!

amanda:

two cheers for ravelry! and so glad to see you popping your head in again :)

OOH! Such pretty socks! I especially love that Traveling Vine pair and I'm thrilled to know I have that book (although not that fantastic yarn)!

I too have a few onsies but I remind myself there is no expiration date on socks and go my merry way ;p

hmmm - looks like "serial sock syndrome" to me - (I've been known to be afflicted with said contagious illness myself - grins). The good news is that if you start two of them, and then alternate knitting on them, you'll end up with TWO complete pairs at almost the same time.. which is totally gratifying
(grins)
they are gorgeous btw.

Beth:

They're all beautiful!

I've been spending a bit more time on Ravelry lately, too. I've been reading all the posts for a couple of groups and checking out the new patterns each day. So far I've been able to control myself, but I think it's a slippery slope... :)

Hey! Good to see you again - I was just thinking about the other day, hoping things were going well.

Socks are very pretty - and ravelry is so tempting! Good luck stickin with it! ;)

Great socks Leah! I love the traveling vine (I made those for Margene during the last Amanda sock swap); it is such a great pattern. They all look excellent and I hope you get their partners done soon!

It looks like Creeping Vines has a head start, but I am pulling for Lenore. Call it a hunch.

Hey you! What a shock to see a post from you and a comment on my blog! So glad to see you around again! AS for my choice of socks.....finish the purple ones!

those are ALL gorgeous! I love the traveling vine, very pretty and yes I lurve ravelry too., especially checking out what my friends are doing (although it always gives me a bad case of the me toos).
