student KAL, 10.8
One of my students and I are doing the Through the Loops Mystery Sock KAL together for Socktoberfest. AB is using a variegated fingering from Knit Picks, and I’m using a solid navy fingering unlabeled I had laying in my stash–this will hopefully show AB how yarn selection changes the look, feel, and mood of…

gifted, 10.1
A very happy student of mine–who I gifted her first hanks ever–showing off this beautiful new yarn she’s a proud owner of! Ususally nicer yarns are sold bundled this way–so I bought her some fingering weight, handpainted yarn in a variegated blue colorway. She might use it for the Through the Loops Mystery Sock 2010…

Yep, it’s Socktoberfest in November.
Finally! I finished one of the socks I cast on, what, within two weeks of original start date? What is wrong with this picture?! Anyways, they are perfect. Whilst they look quite big in this photo, a measurement of sorts indicates that they will be the most fitting slouchy sock for a woolie fanatic. And…

Socktoberfest? So long as I have a pint of some Oktoberfest along for the ride.
So remember how I mentioned the other day that November may become my very own Socktoberfest? Welp, I think that is a possibility because I’ve cast on yet another pair of self-striping socks, done up in a simple 1/2-inch rib and the standard stockinette stitch. Because I had issues with the first pair seemingly too…
