My husband says sock knitting is my addiction.  He absolutely right.  Every time I think I'm going to take a break from socks and knit something else, I just can't do it.

So the remedy is to have several knitting projects going at the same time.

As I am just learning to knit, but can crochet rather well, I would love to try either the Muscadine socks or Wyest socks.  I'm hoping by this time next year to have KNITTED some successful socks as I am starting a beginning knitting class in April!  And just so you know, I have not crocheted a sock either!

Love the folklore socks! I've never tried colorwork before, and this would be a perfect project to try it with!

The first thing I said when I saw Sockupied linked on Facebook was, "I'm definitely going to be knitting those! (McGonagall Socks by Anne Berk)" They're are really classic design; one that's worth the time spent doing the colourwork!

I've never knitted socks before and would like to start out making Wyest Socks by Chrissy Gardiner. I love that pattern and hope it would be not too bad to start out with as a beginner!

I love the colorful folklore socks. They look so comfy. I wish I could knit socks better. I alway seen to mess up in the heel area with large gaps between the stitches. Anyone know how to handle this?

Def has to be the Colorful Folklore Socks!!! My colorful (and only) son, a Folklore doctoral student, and his wife, a Folklore/Ethnomusicology doctoral student (at MUN in St. John's, Newfoundland) MUST have these socks! He also studied at Tartu U in Estonia, and "roadtripped" to Anu Raud's house one day, uninvited mind you, just to fulfill my request of meeting her - Anu spent most of the day with him, inviting him in her home for tea and a peek at her amazing work, drove him around in her aged Volvo stationwagon, showed him her collections at the museum, and made it an awesome day for him, and me (via pics)... I think it's the least I can do for him, don't you? As they are producing my first grandchild in early June, I'm thinking I may need to do a little reduction on the pattern!  Interweave really rocks!!

For the pattern alone, I would have to say Muscadine Socks by Star Athena. Because I like to knit two (three if the yardage allows) different patterned socks out of the same yarn, I would have to say Escadaria Socks by Kristi Geraci (knit 2 ways). It all depends on what the pattern and the yarn 'will' me to do!
