Socktoberfest in November? Perhcaps, Perhcaps.

Tonight I took an absolutely spledid walk around downtown, and ended up on the streets of Chinatown wishing I wasn't so darn full or I would have stopped for some tasty dumplings. While riding the train towards my night of gandering to The Talking Heads, I dug around in the bottom of my bag only to realize I'd forgotten the Baby Poonan Sweater I'm meant to be working on, but did in fact find a random skein of sock yarn and the appropriately gauged needles, and so, I cast on for some standard stockinette striped socks, which will no doubt become a gift.While I normally don't adore sock knitting like a lot of other crafter geniuses, I have to say once the 1/2" ribbing was completed at the top, it's just easy breezy knitting without having to worry or pay close attention, which is beyond gratifying!I CO 64 stitches on size 3 dpns, and worked the K1P1 rib for the aforemetioned measure. The yarn is a cool self-striping wool in blues and grays and it looks really yummy with a simple pattern to highlight the colors so I'm pleased to have picked the standard stockinette.I hope these don't end up too slouchy and fall down all the time. Keeping fingers crossed because I.refuse.to.yank.them.out!File Under: Perhaps this month will become my very own Socktoberfest, and I will take to sock knitting like the rest of my crafting friends?
