I've been knitting some socks lately, and I thought I'd share some photos of my FO's.

Pretty boring, no?  Actually, no.  These were knit over the past six or so months (other things were knit, too!).  My desire to knit a sock yarn blanket has finally overwhelmed my desire not to, so its off to the sock yarn stash I go.  Most of what I'm going to knit with my sock yarn stash, in order to make leftovers for the sock yarn blanket, is going to be... well... socks.  I have a few scarves in my queue and possibly a mitten or two, but I'm really planning on making  a lot of socks.

I scoured through Ravelry looking for great sock patterns and found quite a few that would make simply lovely socks.  However, I've come to the conclusion that I really prefer basic stockinette socks.  They just feel better on my feet.  This is so sad, as I love knitting socks!  And I love knitting patterned socks!  But I just can't wear them.  Too much going on in the shoe, and I'm not a huge fan of socks where the pattern just disappears at the heel.  I might be able to squeeze in a Skew, a Nutkin, or maybe even a no-purl Monkey, but for the most part, boring socks to come.  Its ok, because I like knitting stockinette socks just as well as other kinds.
