I always seem to post about qualifying for Sock Madness (look for it on Ravelry - Ravelry is the name of the website for knitters). This year is the same.
Here are the Qualifying round socks, called Newspaper socks.
Nice pattern with a few interesting touches. Textured heels and the vertical strip is duplicate stitch.
I used Nundle sock yarn, which is lovely to knit with, in colours I bought last year.
Unfortunately, after submitting and being approved on Thursday morning, I tripped and fell hurting my wrist. Drove to Benalla and then on to lunch at Jones Winery in Rutherglen (excellent), I spent the rest of the day in Wodonga hospital Emergency department. There they x-rayed me, confirming I had a broken wrist, put my arm in plaster and followed up with an x-ray in the morning. I went to the concert we were staying in Albury for, Red Hot Summer 2026, headliner Paul Kelly (Great concert at Gateway Lakeside in Wodonga), and travelled home on Sunday.
There's more in store: x-rays and visits to Monash /Orthopaedic clinic for the next 6 weeks, if all goes well!
To continue in Sock Madness I'm going to have to figure out how to make a makeshift knitting belt. I think I need something that will hold both needles as it is my left hand out of action and I'm a continental knitter.
The first round sock has released the specs and it's the bead sock. The beads don't worry me, i can thread them one-handed, but can I knit??
