As promised, here’s the run down of the socks I knit during the month of October.
 |
Thrilling Jaywalkers Pattern: Jaywalker Designer: Grumperina Needles: US 1 (2.25mm) Yarn: Wollmeise Sockenwolle 100% superwash in colorway, “Thriller” –Ravelry Project Link– Still my favorite out of them all. The yarn has already proven to wear like iron and the socks are comfortable too. And, the colors are just so Halloween, you’ve gotta love it. |

Mystery Sock Pattern: Mystery Sock ’09 Designer: Kristen Kapur Needles: US 2 (2.75mm) Yarn: BMFA Socks That Rock Lightweight in, “Scum Bubble” –Ravelry Project Link– This is the first mystery sock knit-along I’ve participated in and it was a ton of fun. I’d feverishly knit each new clue the day it was released, giving me time to knit other things during the week (you know, like, more socks). The colorway is SO awesome and I’m happy with how it worked in the pattern as well. Yum. Scummy socks. Love it. |

Diamond Rib Lace Sock Pattern: Diamond Rib Lace Sock Designer: Kathleen Taylor Needles: US 1 (2.25mm) Yarn: Twisted Fiber Art Kabam! in, “Minstrel” –Ravelry Project Link– Isn’t that dye job incredible? Gotta hand it to Meg, she’s just a genius. The sock pattern was originally meant to be a child’s sock, but with a small amount of tweaking, it sized up very easily to an adult’s sock! And, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that zig-zag eyelet running down the leg as well as the cuff. |

Make-Up Sox Pattern: Make-up Sox Designer: Kristen Kapur Needles: US 1 (2.25mm) Yarn: dkKnits Technicolor Bounce in, “Teacher Teak” –Ravelry Project Link– These are toe-up which isn’t really a favorite of mine to knit, but the pattern is really so gorgeous (and the name so cute) that I really couldn’t leave them out. The yarn is just the perfect color and SO cozy – it’s a great match! |
