Amazon Socks!

Amazon Socks
Pattern - my usual top down with Eye of Partridge heel flap and kitchenered toes
Yarn - Fiesta Boomerang, colorway - Amazon, purchased from The Loopy Ewe
Needles & Gauge - Size 2 DPNs, 6 st/in

These were such a fast knit. The yarn was nice to work with, but I had the worst time winding it. The yarn is a little slippery and it kept slipping on my ball winder. But once the winding was done, I had a pair of socks in a flash.

And another finished object...

Loopy Red Sock

My most recent order from The Loopy Ewe included a little kit to make this 'Loopy Red Sock'. I made this over the weekend and it is now hanging on my Christmas tree.

Next up for my sock needles...

Monkey
Monkey Socks in Socks That Rock lightweight, colorway - Flower Power

and

Heart Seeds
Dashing Dachs sportweight (bought at Wool Girl) destined to be yet another pair of plain stockinette socks.

More Socks

The sock kick is still going strong around here. I finished two pair last week. That puts me at 3 pair finished this month. I wonder if I can manage to get one more. I've got a very long weekend coming up over Thanksgiving, which will mean lots of knitting time (especially since I'm not cooking)...

Great Pumpkin Socks
Yarn - Storm Moon Knits Twilight Sock, The Great Pumpkin
Pattern - Just a plain ol' stockinette

Retro Rib Socks
Yarn - Silkie Socks That Rock, Walkin' on the Wild Tide (club colorway)
Pattern - Retro Rib from 25 Favorite Socks

I have already cast on another pair, the leg is just about done, but I don't have a pic just yet.

I am working on other things besides socks, I just can't show them yet.

YarnsWaiting

On top is more Socks That Rock, lightweight this time, in Flower Power...destined to become Monkey socks. On the bottom is Fiesta Boomerang in Amazon...destined for socks, but just plain stockinette ones. I've got even more socks planned, if only I could knit in my sleep.
