I’d love to join the long sock along. I think I found the perfect yarn for it but am goging to double check the pattern first.

Ok, I will have internet even if I must travel to Starbuck’s to get it! Sorry for my belated commenting, and for the fact that I am hi-jacking V’s comments for use as my interim blog.

I have purchased my yarn. Photos of colors will be on my blog this week, thanks to Starbucks and WiFi. I’m using (I think, have not yet swatched) Debbie Bliss cash-merino aran. Although this seems bizarrely chunky to me, it seems comparable in wt and gg to what the pattern called for. And I’m prepared to accept that my legs will look a bit “padded” in order to have warm enough legs that I can wear a skirt. Looking over the pattern, I am wondering if I want to add elastic thread to the top?

Logisticly, can/should we start a sockalong blog? Would love to see/read everyone’s thoughts, questions, progress in one place…

I’d like to join! I kept checking the knitty boards, hoping someone would start a KAL for those socks, and today i was pleasantly surprised to see your post. :)

Count me in! I have been eyeing those very tall socks, and this is just the inspiration I need to start them. The January 15th start date is perfect for me.

*dithers* ok, I’ll join ya! Bit concerned about where the suspender belt clips on to the sock - thinking of making an eyelet so it doesn’t snap/warp the clip… but I’ll think more on that later…

Yay, here we goooo!
Wooohaaa! Cool, knee highs are welcome to join in! Will post about this hmm.. tomorrow I think. I’ve just spent a loooong day by the computer, and have to log of NOW.

Singular for socks in swedish is SOCKA. En socka = one sock.

Knit-a-looong-sock (or two) is going to be fun, fun, fun!
