Socks So Far...

I really wanted to post a cool socks picture like Aimee - I LOVE her "wash day" photo! but alas I am not a great photographer and this is the best I could do. This is a picture of all the socks that I have made that I still have.... Missing from this picture are a whole bunch of Wisconsin Winter Socks which I made as gifts 15 years ago. After that run, I didn't knit socks again until a few years ago and this is what I've made since then (minus some gifted socks) .

I have tried many sock yarns and have many more to try. On the right hand photo from front going left to right are...
1st row: Lorna's Laces, KnitPicks Simple Stripes, Regia 4 ply, Mountain Colors Bearfoot, Regia Jacquard
2nd Row: Trekking XXL, Regia Silk, Elann Essential 4 ply,Blackberry Ridge Wool, Mountain Colors Bearfoot, Mtn. Colors Bearfoot
3rd Row:Brown Sheep Wildfoote, Sockotta, Lana Grossa Meilenweit , Joslyn's Sheeps Gift, Cascade Fixation

Has this distracted you from the fact that I have, so far, only completed one pair of socks for Socktoberfest? I have the distinct possibility of finishing the Austermann Step socks in the next week, but I don't know if the Traveler's Stockings are going to make it this month. I'm working on it!

Here is Cam working on his own mittens. He picked out the yarn (Plymouth Galway) last week and started right away...using Penny Straker's Basic Mitten Pattern .
