FINALLY I have something on the needles to contribute to Socktoberfest! And to THINK I bought 3 different yarns for this KAL!! LOL!!! What WAS I thinking!!!
I should be able to finish this pair of socks by the October 31st...........hopefully!!
I have had technical difficulties with DH second Blue Suede sock......(translated means I have knit the sock to the point where I join the heel, mess it up royally, rip out, make a mess, have to rip completely out and start over........X 2)!! I really wanted to finish the Blue Suede socks before I started the Socktoberfest socks!! Also, I only had one set of needles.....but I now have another pair.....wooo hoooo.....two socks going at once!!! I'm outa control here!! LOL!!!
I now have the Blue Suede sock knitted to the the point where I have completely messed up in the past and have this little fella on hold till I can meet up with Tonni so she can give me a refresher course on this part!! I know I am doing something very simple but for the life of me can't figure out how to correct what I am doing wrong!! The first sock was a breeze!!
It is interesting how the Socktoberfest yarn is striping at an angle.....I'm not sure what makes the yarn slant rather than go straight like the self striping yarns I have used in the past.
This yarn is REALLY pretty, vibrant fall colors, although the picture looks sort of washed out. I bought this yarn from Ebay, Fearless Fibers, 100% Superwash Merino Wool, size 2 circs.
Hopefully in a few days I'll have a bit more to show!
Work has been incredibly hectic, not much time to knit....boo hoo!!!

Beautiful fall colors -- I like the way it is striping!
I love those colors. It looks like fall leaves. I wish it would get cold here -- cold for Alabama anyway. Soon maybe.
Pretty new sock. You'll get the heel figured out...
Nice yarn colours! Picking up the stitches after the heel is usually a 'hold my breath' part here too! Good luck!
I like those nice fall colors in your Soctoberfest sock.
