Socktober is for Socks!
Nothing like a witty name for the month of October to get me inspired to finish languishing pairs of socks!
Details:
Pattern: Shur'tugal
Yarn: BMFA Socks That Rock Lightweight
Colorway: Star Sapphire
Size: Medium (64 stitch count)
Needle: Knit Picks 2.25mm
Cast On: March 28, 2009
Cast Off: October 11, 2009
These were started for the Socks That Rawk Ravelry group's Q2 KAL. I finished the 1st sock in a reasonable amount of time (for me) & then let it sit, and sit, and sit. Fortunately I left it on my dresser so I'd have to look at its lonely face every day. Finally I'd had enough & in my flurry of finishing of late, decided to finally knit up its mate once and for all.
So glad I did - this is a great pattern & the socks fit fine. I really love how the pattern flows into the heel:
Expect a couple more pairs over the coming months. I've finished clue #2 for the TTL Mystery Sock KAL and cast-on a pair using a pattern from Wendy Knits' Socks From the Toe Up book.
Happy Knitting & Happy Fall!
Ciao~

Those are beautiful! The more socks I knit, the more I love solid/semi-solid yarns. So elegant!
That sure is a pretty pair of socks!! Love the blue/love the pattern!
I just signed up for the STR Q4 KAL and plan to start the Edwardian Boating socks sometime in November, and I'm tagging right along behind you with the TTL Mystery socks too :-)
Ooh! I do like that heel too! Very nice socks.
