Socktober

 

I spent yesterday scraping old mortar off the formerly tiled kitchen floor but mercifully today is a day off from kitchen drama. Bless you NFL. It's so nice to think about something else....like socks. It's been Socktober all year around here. I've been in a panic about not having enough gift socks but I think I just might. I lose track.



I'm not sure if any of them will fit anyone so I've been making bigger and bigger ones. The Base Camp twins are at the heel. 




I have a few more rows and the second Walrus socks will be at the heel too. 




As a reward for making all those socks I gifted myself this Uneek kit I found in a Maryland shop on Kathy B's yarn crawl last weekend. I saw these on a German YouTube podcast ages ago and have always wanted a pair. I do love me some stripey stripes.

    Oh, no....I hate hearing that. I better rewind them and check for breaks then. At the price this stuff is you would have thought that there was some kind of quality control.

    You have quite a collections of socks there. Unfortunately, even with the best intentions I do not. I never did find the ones that were lost in the move. Maybe someday. Love that Uneek yarn. Knee socks! It's been years since I've had knee socks. I hope Dee's yarn was a fluke and you'll have no issues.
    Blessings,

    You've done well with the sock knitting this year! The new knee socks look like a very good knit!
