October Socks

These are Pulled Salt Water Taffy Socks by Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer.  The yarn is Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Desert Flower.  I used size US 1 (2.5mm).


 

Close up view here.

Not my best pair of socks.  I ordered the wrong color.  This color is much brighter than I wanted.  I also tried to match the start point, so the two socks would match. Obviously that didn't happen!  But it was a fun pattern to knit.

They are bright and will keep me warm this winter.
 

October

I have two pair of socks for this month  . The first ones were actually cast on in September but not finished till early October . They are some warm ski socks for DH . The pattern is Garter Rib from Sensational Knitted Socks .The yarn is Regia Highland Tweed . Mike is pretty happy with them .

 

The second pair are for me . It was love at first sight when I saw the colourway at my LYS . This was one  of my few yarn purchases this  year . I'm really work down some of the sock yarn stash . This is another Regia yarn , Ombre Stripe by Kaffe Fassett . The pattern is Jeck by Regina Satta . I really enjoyed knitting this pattern , thanks Regina !

October Socks

Two pairs completed for October, with two (one new...) pairs STILL on the needles.  First, I finished my first pair of man socks after my husband had been badgering me:

Pattern is Jane Cochran's Hedgerow and the yarn is KP Stroll tonal in Kindling.

Then I settled in to knitting the long-promised pair of 'gween socks' for my little girl, using leftovers from my previously posted Kai-mei socks and a little yellow mini skein I picked up at my LYS for $1.  I used a single pattern repeat from the Dragonfly socks to make them more interesting.  And getting a good picture of toddler feet is as difficult as getting a good picture of their smiles:

October Socks

It's been awhile.  I lost my knitting/blogging mojo for quite awhile, but I think it is back.  :-)  At least I hope it is.

I finished a pair of simple stockinette socks for October.

Yarn:  Regia Patch Antik

These will be a Christmas gift for DH.  I knit on them last week while we are on vacation and he didn't suspect a thing.  So, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...don't tell.

October. Check.

Finished up a pair of socks for my nephew.

Basic vanilla with a 3x1 ribbing using Regia's Kaffe Fassett yarn.  Really nice stuff and would use again.

Socks for Andie

My daughter, Meagan, is pregnant with her first child, and they plan to name her Andie. I knit a pair of socks (even tho she is not due till Feb). Felt like Grandma had to get started on something! Renee' aka yoyosocksister

By the Skin of my Teeth September

Pattern: Haystacks by Lisa Stichweh
Yarn: Hazel Knits Artisan in Blue Spruce
Needles: 2.25mm

I finished these Sunday afternoon and I forgot to post them!  Crazy because I have been a knitting fool for the last few days to finish these so that I would have completed my pair for the month.  Then posted them in all the appropriate groups on Ravelry,...... and forgot the blog.  So silly!  Anyway, this was a fun and easy pattern and knits up pretty quickly due to lots of stockinette.  I love that they are left and right socks to add a little fun and interest.
