Fall!

My Fall Socks


I've gotten farther on these, which is good

But they're not done yet, and I want to wear them this fall

I know, knit rather than blog

And yes, they do need a good blocking

October Socks!


These are the October Sockamania socks

Colinette Jitterbug Florentine

A fun and easy pattern, I'm planning on making these again in '08

Fall socks

Pic coming soon - have the first one almost done - working on the gussett.

But I found the color, and thought I'd get that part posted while I have that little piece of news -

It's On Line Sierra Color - Grand Canyon Trekking (Chocolate Brown, Adobe, Gold, Black & Off-White) - Color #893

Really screams 'fall' - I'm doing a double moss stitch pattern, and so it looks like a pile of fall leaves, ready to jump into.

I know, where's the pic?

Coming, I promise!

Keena's Socks or "You Rule"




These are socks I made for my 11 year old niece for her birthday - Tube socks for growing feet, from Sockotta.

She had to open the package early, and sent me an IM that said "You Rule"

I'm taking that to mean that she likes the socks :-)

Update - Since several have asked what the yarn is
It's Plymouth Sockotta, #11 colorway
I knit it on Brittany DPNs

And,,,, it's been regifted by Keena to her mother / my sister. Keena doesn't like tube socks, but they fit my sister nicely! :-)

Strikke Along
