It's been fun and I do plan on continuing as long as the fellow members want to! However, for me, I do plan it to be a bit different. Different in a good way though! Mine will become YPPIP-...why p-p-i-p?? you ask...It stands for Yarn Pr0n Project in Progress!
I will try, on my honor..oops..wrong one..ahem..as for many people, we want to make 2007 the year of Stashbusting. Now, I am not going to list a bunch of rules I'd "try" to follow *cough, cough*, I'm just going to do the best I can! and sock yarn..well it so does not count..but I'll try to control myself! I'm just really trying to use what I have. I don't usually just buy yarn without buying enough for a certain project, so I do have a lot of projects, summer and winter and in between..but the sock yarn..well, it is a good commodity to have...swapping, using, gifting, etc.
I mean I am going to try to show you some pr0n you may have/have not already seen with the project in progress or possibly finished. It is also a way tokick my butt in gear get myself motivated to get some projects done. I'm already kinda behaving as I've been to at least 3 websites, filled the online basket....then empty them right up... This time of year is really tempting too! Oh but, you came here for the pr0n...so here we go! Oh and if anyone else wants to do the same! Go for it, the more the merrier! :)

Psst. That last one..going for that copycat look ;)
And when you knit a sock with it...it becomes....this
Thuja sock from Knitty, which I've knit before and like the pattern, I wanted something easy to memorize as I waited in lines, etc.... I was trying to finish these for the holidays...eeek not sure only have like 2 days, but will cast on the 2nd one later today so I get no SSS! Oh and the amount on this skein is amazing!! I'll get the next sock and probably will try a pair of plain stockinette toe-ups to see just how far I can get! Possibly 2 pairs out of this skein..or at least a pair of sockettes or something.. ;)
ETA: A few have asked where I got the Sock Blockers. You can get your own Here :)

Great sock photos! I love how it came out!
Sock yarn doesn't count? Oy! But that yarn - that yarn!!! Yummy - and your Thuja socks look absolutely fantastic! Yay for sock yarn, that's all I can say here! ;)
Lovely!
I have a story for you....
Ha ha, I think I know who you're imitating with that last shot!
I like your idea for the new spin on YPF!
Very, very pretty! Are you going to wait until next Christmas to wear them or will they get broken in before then ;)
Hard to believe it the last YPF of 2006. You've done a fine job, keeping the YPF posted every week.
Have a wonderful New Year! See you on the blog side! :)
I love how those colors knit up. They are festive without being so festive you can't wear them other times. :D
Love the idea for the twist on yarn pr0n. I'm going to have to have a go at that. I want to do the stash busting too.
Love the jingle bell rocks socks! they look great. Where did you get your blockers? Do you use them much?
I like your idea for YPPIP (did I get that right?). We'll see how long I can last without buying new yarn, though. Must use stash, must use stash...
Oh, pretty yarn and pretty sock. I am planning to start the same pattern in the next week, now I feel inspired :-)
Oh my! What lovely colors!!! Happy New Year!!!
Oh yes...and love the resolution! Some of us have yet to build the stash to bust...hey...I could do that this year!!! LOL

Stash busting I am their with you for the year 2007!
Love Socks That Rock...but I guess you already knew that:)
Beautiful colors in this yarn and I like the pattern you knitted this pair in.
Lovely socks!
Sounds like a plan! I'm terrible about taking pics of a WIP but I think it's a great opportunity to practice taking pics of stitch patterns and what not as well.
Oh, that STR Jingle Rock is GORGEOUS! Fantastic YPF, Zonda! :-D This is a great idea for future YPF. :-) I ordered the Christmas Balls colorway so I guess I'll get to give 'em a whirl next Christmas.
It's lovely yarn, it looks great knitted up.
