Socks in the Great Outdoors

Published by lolly at 5:44 am under Inspirations, Socktoberfest 2007

The weather finally shifted – the cool breezes and falling leaves are finally here. What better way to celebrate the autumnal season than by knitting beautiful and functional socks? (and subsequently photographing them outdoors!)

I do hope you have a lovely weekend! Make some time to spend outdoors (with or without your socks!) Kris and I are traveling to North Carolina to visit my sisters, so we will come back on Monday with a slew of new photographs, stories, and hopefully a finished pair of socks.

    Why is it that every October my thoughts turn to sweaters? I’m still knitting socks, but not as many. It’s fun to drop by here and see the wonderful socks that others knit this time of year.

    Have a great trip!

    It’s STILL to hot here to feel like fall. I feel like I’m NEVER going to get to wear socks.

    These photos are gorgeous– would make good screen savers. And speaking of screens, I just watched an episode of online Boingboing TV about Ravelry and I added a comment at the bottom about Socktoberfest: http://tv.boingboing.net/2007/10/09/online-knittingburma.html

    I’m delurking! I love your blog (I’ve been reading it for almost two years now- since around the time I first started knitting) and thought I should say hello, and thank you for the time you put into it! I recently finished my first pair of socks and have caught the bug, and I’m hoping to celebrate Socktoberfest with at least one new pair!

    I hope you have a safe and very fun journey!

    I really like the Log Cabin socks. They look both warm and pretty.

    Your socks are beautiful! I’m so jealous at how many pairs you have. One day I hope to have as many in my collection.
