I am getting a late start, but hoping to finish at least one pair. If I am super industrious the next couple weeks, maybe I'll end up with more! Wow, that blue yarn up top is just luscious.

They're going to be gorgeous, and definitely completed during the month of Socktober!

(so I can buy BETTER yarn!) *Finish previous socks underway. CHECK!! (now 2 more are started) :) Got off to a good start thanks to Amazing Lace (first ever YO's to make holes on purpose!) and have just finished a pair "I designed" using Barbara Walker's book 1. What are the rules for naming a design - I didn't make up the stitches - just decided where to put them?! How do you credit stitches used in a "stitch book"? Looking for advice on stitch patterns translated to socks - knitting in the round. Visit my blog if you have answers to the Multiple of 6 PLUS 3 thing. Keep the plus 3 or leave it out when casting on?! I’ve posted my first Socktoberfest efforts on my blog :)

I know ALL about Hokusai these days, thanks to my fabby visit to the Smithsonian this spring when I got to meet YOU at Politics and Prose. Congratulations on Socktoberfest--I'm feeling a little socky myself. Hokusai!

He is one of my Mom's favourite artist, and I have a soft spot for his woodblock prints, too. Can't wait how the kneehighs will turn out! Hallo liebe Lolly,

I cast on last night for a pair of socks for my dad – 80 stitches in Lorna's Laces Pewter. That's a lot of stitches!!! My first time knitting with size 1 needles ... this will be a much-needed source of support. Thanks for hosting! I love the Yarn Pirate yarn too!
