I’ve been a bit negligent about posting about my Socktoberfest socks. Here they are:

They’re plain stockinette socks knit in ArtYarns Supermerino in a colorway that undulates between hot pink and purple. I knit the first sock in quick order early last spring and then didn’t start the second sock until I was in Utah and wanted something to knit while I listened to the Yarn Harlot so I could pay attention to her and not to my knitting.

I almost had to rip them all the way back because I ran out of yarn on the second skein. Luckily, I had about a yard left over from the first skein. This is how much I had at the end of the second sock (including that extra yard from the first sock):

(Doen’t it look like the yarn is trying to send me a message?)

I’m really hoping no extra holes appear in these socks because there is nothing left to fix them with. I wasn’t much for throwing out odds and ends before now, but this experience will definitely reinforce the behavior!

I finished the socks over Columbus Day weekend while we were up in Connecticut, but just hadn’t gotten around to posting about them until today. Oops!
