SOCKTOBER!!
I feel like I've been asleep, dreaming and last week is just a blur. There is only one picture on my camera from the whole week, and it is this picture. I'm kissing a toad!! The toad belongs to a Green Witch! Where the heck have I been? What happened to me?
Also, in my knitting basket is a bunch of knitting I don't remember doing...the best part? I found a finished pair of socks...beautiful socks! Socktober Socks! Just in time, too. It looks like there was magic afoot, don't you think?
Child's French Sock from Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush
Jaeger Matchmaker Merino 4-ply in Lilac #742 - 2 balls
Time to Knit: ? (It was magic.)
Thanks Lolly for a great Knit Along.
How cool is it that this is my 13th pair of socks this year!?
Have fun, be safe and make some of your own magic.
This week of Green Witches was brought to you from Gardner Village in West Jordan, Utah. Regular blogging may return tomorrow.
Lovely socks Margene. I know my mom is going to want to knit those. Glad you are back safe and sound. ;)

Great socks! I love how regular blogging "may" return tomorrow. Sounds like you haven't recovered from your wild escapades yet. ;)

I believe you are an ex-hippie, no? I think this was all a flashback from something you dropped back in 1969. Amazingly, just like many artists of the time, you still created wonderful (maybe better?) art.
Happy HOWL-0WEEN!!!

Boo-tiful socks! (sorry - bad, I know, but I couldn't resist...) I'm surprised the Green Ladies didn't bewitch you to make you stay and knit some for them.

Beautiful socks! I just got the Vintage sock book, and spent some nice time leafing through it this weekend. There are some lovely patterns in it.

Okay, if I still had any doubts about wanting Nancy's new book (I didn't really), those socks have banished them! Absolutely lovely. And 13 is my lucky number. :)
