April Sock Blanket Madness

 • 6 Comments

This past week WoolDiaries hosted another “Sock Blanket Madness” week on Instagram. I participated last August and enjoyed the intensive work on my blanket. It’s been languishing ever since so I resurrected it for another go round. Recognizing that I had a couple of commitments that would cut down on my knitting time, I set my realistic goal at 10 squares and my hopefully goal at 12. I managed to finish 12 during the week, with an extra one done today. Yay!

Yesterday I discovered #SockBlanketMadness hashtag (do you say hashtag if you’ve used one?) on Instagram just in time to participate.  My sock yarn blanket has been sitting in a corner, but it seems like a fun week to try and knock out a few squares. Basically, you post a picture of your blanket yesterday with your starting number. Using the hashtag for the coming week, try and knit as many squares as you can.

Like most people who knit socks, I end up with very pretty bits and pieces of yarn with not much to do with them.  And like many of those people I stumbled across the Sock Yarn Blanket when looking for a project for the odds and ends.  Without fully realizing what I was getting into, I cheerfully cast one on.  According…
