At the risk of my perfectly normal and responsible reputation, the next picture is what today's title is all about...
Let it be known that this is not typical sock knitting behavior for me. The majority of the time I am a one-pair-at-a-time knitter. Sometimes two. Rather infrequently, I've been known to have 3 pairs on the needles. But FIVE?!? Why that's just crazy, even for me! Or maybe the crazy part is the one-at-a-time notion, lol ;)
Much as I'd like to make some progress on my sock-love-obsession...I've resigned myself to deep-cleaning the kitchen today, ugh!
Hope your week is off to a fantastic start! Thanks for stopping by my neck of the woods!!!

Love those little tennis shoe anklets. Those look like fun to knit... quicker anyway than regular socks.
Wonderful socks! I think it's more normal to have a few pairs going, lol! Just think, whenever you need a quicker sock finish, you can just grab up one of these and git 'er done =)
I love the title of this post it did make me smile.
The anklets looks super, nice colours in that wool.
There are so many wonderful wools out there, i for one understand the urge to start something else!
Your socks/anklets are always so pretty! Have fun with all your knitting projects. Hope the cleaning goes quick!
absolutly adorable. I have to know what color is the yellow striped yarn in the bottom photo. I love that color. You do a fine job knitting girl :)
I just love hand knitted socks! However do you dare wear them? So much time involved!
I love the pair on your foot model! So cute. I guess 5 must be the magic crazy number. I have 5 sewing projects sitting out at the moment! LOL.
Take Care.
Mad, I say, absolutely bonkers...LOL!! But there are some beauties in that assortment!! The anklets are very cute.
What a cheery bunch of socks!!!! Love them all!!!!
Ooooooooooo...I LOVE those grey/brown/black socks. They are gorgeous.
I went to the frog-pond this afternoon. Hoping I'll have some time this afternoon to sit down and start all over again.
Have fun in the kitchen.
I've been using up some smaller skeins on anklets lately too. The Deborah Norville skeins run a bit light on yardage so they become anklets right away. I made a pair of socks for myself out of Red Heart "Black Jack". I just love the color combination. I see you also make socks on round needles. My mother gave me a booklet on how to do it , but I am completely stumped. I'll stick to my double points for now.
Just like looking through a sock catalogue :)
All are lovely! Sorry she "cobbed" on to them...but I understand....lots of good stuff of mine is cobbed on to here by some little preteen.
;)
Oh wow - they look wonderful. Love the colours. Michelle x
All the socks are so pretty! Love them!
all are super
but those anklets are the best
great colors
The anklets are gorgeous, love the color. That's a pretty colorful pile of criminal actitvity there, lol
Oh, this is my kind of post! Socks, socks, socks. I'm still sock-obsessed, but I'm holding off trying them until I finish a few things. It ain't easy being the Sock Monster.
Wow! Where do I place my order? LOL, those are amazing! love the colors, and the texture!!
Wow you sure are the sock queen Staci, those are all fabulous!
OMG I love those ankle socks I am such an ankle sock girl... I wear them until it gets too cold out!
You make the most darling socks Staci!!! They match your blog background perfectly!!!
**Smile** Love all of them!!
There is nothing better on your feet than a pair of hand knit socks! Yours are beautiful. I've never knit with self striping yarn. Must find some!
I think the flawed thinking is that you'd only have one pair of socks going at a time. Five looks normal...wait, maybe 8 is normal?! I'm sure you have 3 more patterns you've been dying to knit up!
super cute! I especially love the anklets!
Brilliant! x
The socks are just scrumptious!
I just love the colors in the first pair of socks. And the other five pair? Well, not being a knitter I can't relate but as a stitcher I can and I always have 4 to 6 projects going. :)
Thank you for your comment on my blog.
What a great sock-y post!! They're all wonderful! Good luck with the 5 pairs you've got on the go.
Wow. Great socks!
