Kia ora and welcome back to Your Good Yarn!

Socktober is just around the corner, so today I'm diving headfirst into my sock yarn stash to sort out what I'm actually going to knit! We're going through all the colorways, hand-dyes, past frogged projects, and matching patterns to build the ultimate Socktober lineup.  
From matching mom-and-baby pairs to self-striping gems and cozy vanilla socks, come rummage through my stash with me while I get organized!   Grab a warm cuppa, sit back, and let's sort some yarn.
