Today does feel a little different, doesn’t it? That excitement of the new month and the possibilities – and the chill in the air is coming back. It definitely seems like a good time to be thinking of socks.
…and while we can’t all be knitting socks at the original OCTOBERFEST, we can create the buzz and excitement of the festival and the community spirit (and drink the beer too…) So, please consider joining the Socktoberfest Flickr group, and encouraging your fellow knitters and crocheters – there are some great discussions going on there, and at the new Socktoberfest Ravelry group.
A HAPPY SOCKTOBERFEST to you, my friends!
(Psst… you like the new design?)
And Happy soctoberfest to you too Lolly! Thank you for the comment on my blog. I love the Autumn, my son presented me with the most perfect red leaf after school today.
happy socktoberfest, lolly! here’s to another month of socks, socks, socks (or, at my knitting speed, sock).
Happy Socktoberfest!!!
Yippee! I felt the chill in the air this morning, and I knew…. it’s time to find the hand-knit socks!
Happy Socktoberfest – love the new layout…

Great new digs Lolly! Happy Socktobefest!
Happy Socktoberfest! Love the new design!
This new design is definitely fitting to the high quality that is your blog. I want a Kris to make a fancy blog for me…
So, not only did I just realize that PS was ending in September, but I didn’t even make the connection that Socktoberfest, and October, are now upon us. Man, where is my brain these days?
I have some other projects waiting in the wings, but I’ll definitely need to work some sockness in there. If nothing else, I have some great yarns that I can pet.
Lolly – I love the new design – just perfect!
And thank you for the link to the Flickr Socktoberfest group.
Love the new blog look – very fresh! Hopefully I’ll get some socks finished for this year’s Socktoberfest – last year I think I fell at least a toe short!
LOVE the new design. So professional, classy, etc–all like you, my dear! I cant do socktoberfest this year–i have plans to knit only one pair of socks.
hey, did you get my voicemail? i went to listen to it because a truck squealed past and i wanted to know if you could ear it, and then i hit some button and i don’t know what happened.
[...] knitting them. Once they get going, they are such an enjoyable project – hmmm I hear it’s Socktoberfest, they might be the perfect project! In fact, I just came across another pair the other day, so for [...]
I love it Lolly! The header photo is wonderful!
The new theme is great! And the weather here in Portland is just screaming Socktoberfest;) I have my Scout’s Socktober yarn ready to go for a pair of special socks…but a baby blanket does need to be finished first.
The new layout looks great – isn’t WordPress the best?
i like it! it’s a nice look for you
Happy Socktoberfest to you too! I love the new layout–clean, beautiful, and easy to navigate!
The new layout looks great in general, and I especially love the banner photo.
The new design is really crisp and clean. And a very happy Socktoberfest to you!
oh..I love your new layout, is very nice and I love the gallery section.
Love the new look!
Brilliant new look! Like a breath of crisp Fall air.
Lol, I like your new look! It’s very timely with your new haircut. XXOO
love the new digs!!!
I seriously can’t believe it’s Oct 1st already!!!!!
I love the new look! As for Socktoberfest, going to try to participate to the extent of my abilities. Even if its just opening my box of sock yarn and fondling these . . .
I love the new blog look Lolly! It’s funny cuz I just redid mine a few days ago too! When I got to yours this morning I thought I was in the wrong place..LOL…
Are there going to be little blog buttons available for Socktoberfest this year? Not that it needs advertising *giggle* but I want to let everyone know I’m in!! I’m doing a sock KAL and then I plan to finish a few that I need to finish… and then we’ll see what catches my attention!
WooHoo Socktoberfest!!! I’ve vowed to only knit socks for my little boys this month, and I’m challenging myself to get 2 pairs done this month. Here we go……..
BTW – I love the new blog layout!!!!
Will there be a button created for this year’s Socktoberfest? I want to share the sock buzz on my blog.
Love You!
[...] Socktoberfest began yesterday! I celebrated it in style by knitting only on Michael’s red sock. I am at the cuff and have only 2 more inches to knit and I’m done with it. I”ll take the yarn and my notes to work with me so that I can cast on for the second sock! [...]
I love the new design! Happy Socktoberfest!
Love the new design! Great job.
Happy socktober! I love your new site design – very clean and functional, yet pretty.
whoa — love the new design!!!
Wow, I really like the new look!
Wonderful design change! It looks totally great.
The socks aren’t looking too shabby, either.
long-long-time reader, first time commenter (i think!) – love the new digs
I love the new look! It’s seems so crisp and right for fall and for the gorgeous look of your photos these days. My goal for Socktoberfest is to clear out the half finished pairs (too many to count!). I’m almost done with the first one.
Fall really is the best time of year around these parts. Apples, pumpkins, spiced cider, leaves, and knitting! I love the new design
I really like the new design. Welcome to Socktoberfest, indeed. Still haven’t decided what I’m doing for this year’s socktoberfest. New socks, or finishing up an old pair. Probably new, hee hee. Oh, I haven’t been around for a minute, but I adore your new haircut. It looks great on you.
Yay, happy Socktoberfest, my favorite time of year!!!
Yes, your new blog design is great!
This design is SHARP! Love it and esp. the new banner!
