The End of October

Happy Halloween!



We have come to the end of Socktoberfest and, well, I am not mentioning the cursed socks. They are not finished--the first awaits kitchenering the toe and the second is only at the heel turn.

They are making me hate socks.

But then I looked at this non-cursed sock yarn:



I got this skein from Jeanie at UFO August. It is the "Cowboy" colorway of Hill Country Sweet Feet yarn. So yummy and soft!

And so I cast on for another pair--and in a last-minute fit of Soctoberfest energy, knit to after the decreases last night.



My faith has been restored!

In addition to this frantic-but-happy sock knitting, I spent part of my Halloween listening to Franklin Habit's phenomenal Poe-inspired performance on Brenda Dayne's podcast Cast-On. Go check it out!
