Earlier this week I ran into one of my dear Witch friends who was about to leave for Salem, MA. She offered to take me along and I was very tempted because that would put me in Sandy's neck of the woods. However, I was afraid for my life (and that of my Weird Sister's) when I saw the power lines right above her head. Green Witches are notoriously bad fliers.
Today is the last day of Socktoberfest and I actually finished the Mystery Socks last night before the witching hour. They will have a proper photo shoot this weekend. Knitting a mystery was fun and knitting with Kim's fabulous yarn made it all the better. How she dyes this yarn in so many fabulous colors is a mystery to me and I must confess to spending quite a bit of time drooling my way through The Woolen Rabbit website yesterday. Kim has so many fabulous colorways and I want to knit them all right up!
Speaking of fabulous yarn....the Foxfire yarn for my NaKniSweMo has been ordered and while it won't arrive for a few more days (hopefully it won't take much longer than that) I remain undaunted and unruffled. The pattern hasn’t been published either, but I know everything will come together…I just know it will. Last year I knit a sweater in 22 days. I do hope to do the same this year and, yes, I am feeling a bit delusional (a state I know well). Why do you ask?
In an act of sisterhood, I plan to blog every day for the next two months with Vicki and in solidarity with my three dear friends who will make it all the way through 365! I can certainly join in for the next 61 days.
'Trick or Treat'..Happy Halloween!!
I'm sure the socks are a real 'treat'!
Look forward to your daily blogging..maybe I will be inspired to do weekly..lol~

Love the way you photographed the socks. Fingers crossed that the yarn and pattern arrive in time - I know you can do whatever you set your mind to do.

I voted early, too, but only because I'm a caregiver. Missouri doesn't allow early voting (as the nation decides, Missouri thinks about it-our motto). I can't wait to "see" the socks. Congrats, grrrl! As for riding with the witch? I'm ready, let's go!!!

Boo! to you! Happy Halloween! PS--great socks and I voted, too!

I very much like the composition of your sock picture. The voter button, fall leaves, and completed October socks are both attractive and an appropriate set.

I may join you for daily blogging -- have to decide today!!

So the sweater you're going to work on must be from Twist Collective :) I am really excited to see the November issue!
Posted by: Miriam | October 31, 2008 at 06:20 AM
Happy Halloween to you too! I can't wait to see what sweater you are going to do next...and I just may join you for NaKniSweMo as I have a Christmas sweater to produce for my husband.

Thank you for sharing the witches again. I do love them so. Happy Halloween Margene! I hope your yarn arrives soon.

Happy Halloween! Looking forward to seeing the completed socks. :)

Happy Halloween! I did finish a pair of socks but never got started on the Mystery sock again.

Given how well I performed in the ABC-along (stalled at R) I should not even think about the NaNaMoMo thing....but I kinda like the pattern. Happy Halloween!

I wouldn't say delusional--you just have ambitious goals. And, I think you can achieve them.

Where'd you get the "voted early" sticker?? The one they gave me was just the run-of-the-mill red one.
Posted by: susan | October 31, 2008 at 07:32 AM
Yay! Every day! I'm hoping the pattern comes out soon, so you don't have to race.
Posted by: Laurie | October 31, 2008 at 07:38 AM
Well, I promise to read every day then! Cuz I'm not brave enough to blog everyday.....

Pretty socks. Happy Halloween.
Posted by: Jean | October 31, 2008 at 07:51 AM
The socks look great! Happy Halloween!!!
Posted by: elizabeth | October 31, 2008 at 08:20 AM
I'm crossing my fingers that your yarn will arrive really soon. Happy Halloween!

Awesome socks! Happy Halloween! Have a wonderful weekend.

Does a pair of socks get to vote twice?
Posted by: Cheryl S. | October 31, 2008 at 08:59 AM
Such a lovely pair of socks and a voter too :)
22 days for a sweater is no challenge for you, go Margene go!

Your green friend's hat band matches your mystery socks - I think you'd be safe grabbing a ride from her. If you make it to Salem, let me know & perhaps I could hitch a ride from one of my witches... although mine are considerably smaller than your Green Witch friends! LOL

Happy Halloween! I wish you luck in blogging everyday- that's quite a goal!
Posted by: Allison | October 31, 2008 at 11:17 AM
YAY! for you blogging every day! I comment infrequently, but am a daily reader and love your writing, your pictures and all your projects. The next 61 days will be a pleasure for us.
