Socktober is Here!

and i've got sock knitting fever!

after an entire summer of only managing to knit one pair of socks -- and anklets at that -- i've gone sock knitting crazy.  this past weekend i started a simple stockinette sock, knit about 5 inches, then frogged it because i decided that i wanted a denser fabric.  so i cast on again, this time with more stitches but smaller needles, and got this far...

i frogged yet again because the sock was looking too big, and cast on last night with four fewer stitches and i've already caught up.  woo-hoo!  do i ever love knitting with small needles.  (AND I MAY HAVE HAD JUST A LITTLE TOO MUCH COFFEE TODAY!!)

and in addition, in honor of  Socktoberfest, i've joined Kristin's mystery sock knitalong that she's hosting in Ravelry.  you can find out all about it here.  i'll be stash diving tonight in search of a semi-solid or solid yarn to cast on with.  it'll be a mult-tasking kind of month i think.

day 166 -- i've also got some other projects that i'm itching to start.
