Oh, is that yarn ever lovely! I wish I hadn’t been so out of the blog loop lately, because Socktoberfest looks like a good time. I haven’t got any socks on the needles now but I do have some incredibly gorgeous sock yarn hanging out in my stash. Maybe it’s time to start browsing through patterns (or write the two papers I have to write today, ack)…

I must of had Socktoberfest on my mind when I cast on the first sock for a pair of Embossed Leaves. It was perfect plane knitting on my way to Regina for my brother’s graduation. Maybe I’ll actually finish a pair during Socktoberfest this year!

I have finished my very first sweater (last night! AT a soccer game!) and am casting on TODAY for the throughtheloops KAL. I forced myself to wait until the sweater was done so I wouldn’t let another season slip by without a handknit, but now I’m throwing myself full force into Soctoberfest. I want to do the TTL KAL, plus pumpkin socks for my aunt for an Xmas gift. I am over optimistic I’m sure, but with a roundtrip to Australia during the month (28 hours of nothing but knitting), I think I can do it. Thanks for the inspiration.

I have just finished my very first pair of socks (for my boyfriend), plain 1 x 1 rib, so I’m looking forward to participating in my 1st Socktoberfest by trying a pair of socks for me in a more ambitious pattern. Love the project spectrum photos, must dig out my slr.

This is the first time I’ll be participating in Socktoberfest. I’m working on Kirsten Kapur’s Through the Loops Mystery Sock KAL (also my first time doing any sort of mystery KAL). I think the yarn I selected might be a bit busy for the pattern, but I’m having fun anyway.

Yay Socktoberfest! I am doing the Through the Loops Mystery Sock KAL and I have cast on a yummy squishy pair for my husband as well using Claudia Handpainted yarns that way he and I can both reap the rewards of the month-long celebration!

This is going to be my fourth attempt to make socks. From the first three, I finished two of them. The other one, the first one I could only finished one of the socks, it was a clear second sock syndrome, the yarn was pretty ugly and total synthetic!!! This time I have chosen one pair from the book Knitting Vintage Socks from Nancy Blush and the mystery sock from Kirsten Kapur. I hope to finish them on time!!!

Believe it or not, I am totally scared of socks — but I am hoping to sign up for a class soon. Right now, I am finishing up some projects started this summer, that have kind of languished. Hopefully, this cooler air that’s arriving will inspire me to finish some of them so that I can start some new projects guilt-free.
