Today is the last day of October and the last day for Socktoberfest. I started off this month saying that I was going to try to knit 3 pairs of socks and I actually cast on for all 3 on the first day of this month. Two are done (yay!) The third pair didn’t quite make the finish line and remain in a state of unravel. Oh well, you win some you lose some.
Knitting along with so many others made this fun and extra special showing me that the knitting community is a great place to be. New friendships have blossomed and old ones reinforced with you can do it encouragement that has been passed around. Having a deadline helped a great deal too, sticking with these projects and getting them done – fantastic feeling!
There are no modeled sock pictures in this post because right now they are damp and blocking and I didn’t want to put on a damp pair of socks even if it was for a few minutes of camera time because…. well because, eeew!! I might just give the socks some blow dryer action later because I want to wear them already! Anyways, pictures of my socks coming soon.
Socktoberfest was fun!

So pretty, makes me want to cry.
Is this Pomatomus? Clearly I haven’t stalked your Rav page yet.
And no matter how pretty, you shouldn’t put on wet socks.

Can’t wait to see your modelled pics.
