Those are just a sampling of the wonderful partial skeins and scraps of sock yarn I've received this week. For what?
I'm making Shelly Kang's Sock Yarn Blanket!!!
When I saw it on Ravelry I started thinking about how every time I knit a pair of socks, I always have a bit left over. Sometimes a pretty big bit. I thought I could easily make a blanket out of all my little balls.
Then I started cataloging what I have and discovered that I could do it, but my blanket would be pretty plain and have a lot of some yarns and very little of others. I joined a few enabling groups over on Ravelry and now the mailbox is a very colorful place!
I've also joined two swaps with goodies that will arrive later this month.
Tomorrow: photos of the first two finished rows! Providing I finish the second row. :)

This is going to be a great looking blanket. Does the yarn I contributed still work? Didn't see it pictured with the rest.

I love the colors that you've collected. I keep my little yarn balls in a larger old candy glass. I have quite a collection. Perhaps I can be swayed to send them your way...
Wow, those colors are beautiful!How many squares are in a row?I am looking forward to pictures of the 2 rows!How many blocks to you have left to reach your goal of 40?
One week down, 2 and a half to go!
