Trekking Through Socktoberfest

October 22, 2009 By Carole

I have my first pair of finished Socktoberfest Socks right here.

trekking socks with pumpkins

There’s nothing like a good ole pair of stockinettte socks in Trekking.

trekking stripes with pumpkins

I mismatched the stripes on purpose.  Just because I wanted to be contrary.

The colors remind me of Halloween but I’ll wear them all winter long. And Trekking wears like iron, my friends.

trekking feet with pumpkins

I’m still working on my Mystery Socks and Dragonfly Socks and I’ve started a new pair of plain socks. Think I can finish them all by the time Socktoberfest ends? I do.

    Those are fun and I like the mis-match idea…keeps you on your toes! 🙂

  4. Nora says

    October 22, 2009 at 6:47 am

    Very cute – and so fun with the pumpkins!

  5. Kirsten says

    October 22, 2009 at 7:05 am

    Love those colors! So cute. I think having them mismatched makes them all the more whimsical, perfect for Halloween socks!

  6. Erin says

    October 22, 2009 at 7:17 am

    They look great! Love the colors. Very fun.

    Great shot with the pumpkins. Very festive indeed!

    I love stockingette socks the best. Trekking really does stand up great, doesn’t it?

  9. Lucia says

    October 22, 2009 at 8:02 am

    You, contrary? I am shocked, *shocked*.

    I do have faith in you, however, sockwise.

  10. mahgene says

    I can’t tell you just how much I love that sock!

  11. Ruth says

    October 22, 2009 at 8:20 am

    Love ’em.

  12. Allison says

    October 22, 2009 at 8:20 am

    Lovely socks! I don’t know self patterning yarns much, but everytime I do they are some of my fastest projects I get finished. It’s so fun to watch the pattern develop, even when you know how it will happen.

    Seasonally super socks! Enjoy them, they’re fun to look at.

    Perfect Soctoberfest socks. They remind me of a bowl of Halloween candy with all the fun colors.

  16. Carol says

    October 22, 2009 at 8:54 am

    Great socks! I really must try some Trekking.

  17. Kathode Ray Tube says

    October 22, 2009 at 9:38 am

    Ohh, I love all those colors! They look great and warm with the pumpkins. Glad you had fun at Rhinebeck.

  18. Cathy R says

    October 22, 2009 at 9:43 am

    Those are really fun socks!!!

  19. Barbara-Kay says

    Love your socks, and they look great amongst the pumpkins. Fall fun!

  20. Carrie says

    October 22, 2009 at 11:01 am

    OMG, mismatched stripes! My little engineer heart just stopped. 😉 (Love them)

  21. Birdsong says

    October 22, 2009 at 11:13 am

    They match the season! You are soo clever:)

  22. Stephie says

    October 22, 2009 at 11:36 am

    I love the socks! Very seasonal but will keep the feet nice and warm all season!

  23. Kristi aka FIber Fool says

    October 22, 2009 at 11:38 am

    Oooo, I love that colorway! I think you’ve convinced me to put some of my self-patterning yarn on the needles for times when my projects aren’t in a good KIP-ing state. It may take a year to finish them, but…

  24. Martha says

    October 22, 2009 at 12:19 pm

    I like the mis-matched stripe better than matched. Not so matchy-matchy, you know?

  25. Teyani says

    October 22, 2009 at 12:45 pm

    love me dem socks!!

  26. Petra says

    October 22, 2009 at 1:05 pm

    They really look great. Love the colors! Trekking is my favorite sock yarn. Nice colors and the socks have a great wear and tear.

  27. Laurie says

    October 22, 2009 at 4:06 pm

    Of course you can! Falling off a log/pumpkin for you.

  28. Linda M. says

    October 22, 2009 at 4:41 pm

    Ohhh, what is the color number please? I love it! it looks similar to my Carnival Trekking socks: Lulabellebird on Rav.

  29. Stephanie says

    October 22, 2009 at 4:41 pm

    Gorgeous and so fun! I’m sure you can finish by next week – you’re a sock wizard.

  30. Cookie says

    October 22, 2009 at 4:54 pm

    So cute!

    If you got your pizza, you’ll finish everything in time. ;^)

  31. Manise says

    October 22, 2009 at 4:57 pm

    Love them! If anyone can finish them in time, it would be you!

  32. Judi says

    October 22, 2009 at 5:50 pm

    I like them BETTER mis-matched.

  33. Ina says

    October 22, 2009 at 6:12 pm

    Fun socks like these ought to be mismatched. Of course you can finish all your socks. Knit, knit, knit!

  34. Sara says

    October 22, 2009 at 6:23 pm

    Oh those are for sure Halloween socks! Love them! I have two skeins of Trekking and I still haven’t made anything out of them. I intend to…

  35. Norma says

    October 22, 2009 at 7:12 pm

    I just LOVE Trekking. It even makes me almost want to knit socks — but it DEFINITELY makes me want to knit mitten liners. My Trekking mitten liners are my favorites!

  36. Kym says

    October 22, 2009 at 7:57 pm

    They’re just . . . happy! 🙂

  37. Kim says

    October 22, 2009 at 8:52 pm

    Courtney says these socks are ballin, superfly socks!

    I love them indeed!

  38. Sarah says

    October 23, 2009 at 12:14 am

    I really like that pair of socks, and think that striping on each sock is perfect individually and together.

    Of course you will finish them all before the end of the month!
