red sock and striped sock

Did I spend a lot of October knitting socks?

Yes! But I also knit other things too.

Did I reach the end of October with more than one pair knit?

Yes, kind of! One pair finished and these other two started.

Did I enjoy thinking of October as a month-long celebration of socks?

Yes! Yes! Yes! 🙂

Confession time: I’ve been simultaneously working on a couple of other projects (sorry, but they’re still secret) so the socks have been growing very slowly.

I was on the road for for the past ten days and that seemed to be the perfect sock-knitting opportunity. But I got distracted by all the lovely people I spent time with en route. Happily, I am making progress and here is a WIP odd sock. And I am still hopeful that by the end of the month I’ll be able to say “Socktober? Why, yes!”

The idea of Socktober / Socktoberfest seems to have been around for a good few years now. Basically,  Socktoberfest is “a month-long celebration of socks” and there’s even a group on Ravelry for aficionados. If you live in the northern hemisphere it certainly doesn’t seem like a bad idea to devote October to sock-knitting.

So here goes…
