Trekking Through Socktoberfest


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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

    I do have faith in you, however, sockwise.

    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.

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

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

    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…

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

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

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

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

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

    So cute!

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

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

    I like them BETTER mis-matched.

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

    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…

    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!

    They’re just . . . happy! :-)

    Courtney says these socks are ballin, superfly socks!

    I love them indeed!

    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!
