Socktoberfest

• Posted by Kamicha on September 30th, 2007 filed in Uncategorized

I have a pair of Bayerische Socks for my friend, christmas present. I have to get on with these, Socktoberfest came right on time.

Then there is a pair of Embossed Leaves socks (from IK winter 2005), I’m learning the magic loop -technique.

I’ve never knitted a sock from toe up, so, I’m considering the Lacy Summer Socks from Knitting Lingerie style. I have some Shepherd Sock in beautiful sage colour, would work nicely with this pattern. This seems like a quick little project, lace pattern is really easy.

Browsing the pattern library in Ravelry for inspiration is really dangerous. I found Woolgatherings beautiful Mad Colour Weave pattern - but thought that it looks even more stunning in solid colour, see Staceys beautiful blue ones. I have some lovely silver gray Regia Silk in my stash…

And then I would love to find a beautiful pattern for variegated yarn. I love Monkey Socks, Jaywalkers and Pomatomus Socks, but there are so many of them around. Variegated yarns have not been my favourite, but for some reason I was hooked on to Shepherd Sock colourway Baltic Sea. It’s beautiful, at least when it’s skeined…

So, my Socktoberfest will be stashbusting and learning some new techniques. But I don’t seriously think that all this…

…is going to be knitted up in October. Even if it is Socktober!
