Sock Cube & Socktoberfest ~
By Sarah | October 3, 2007
My new favorite project bag – the cube. From here. What a perfect size and so well made!
What’s that poking out of the bag? Why that is the first sock of Socktoberfest. You heard it hear – I have a goal for one pair of adult socks, a pair of baby socks and baby booties (those count for socks, right?). Pattern from Knitting Pure & Simple - this is the mashed potatoes of sock knitting, comfort food if you will. Completely mindless and perfect. Yarn is my superwash merino wool in sportweight. Talk about speedy. Might even be able to get two pair of these done in Socktober (but don’t quote me on that). What are your goals for Socktoberfest?
Now I leave you with a silly picture of my two fellas – boy, that Sam is persistent….. won’t take no for an answer. “Walk me, play with me……I’m going to sit here and breathe in your ear until you pay attention to me.”

Okay freaky. My parents sent me the bandana one TODAY for my birthday. What are the chances!!!! I’m finding it a smidge small for the ball of yarn and the 7″ DPNs but I love it nonetheless.
Your boys are cutie pies.
LOVE the sock!

Ooh, I’ve been eyeing those bags on etsy myself. The sock is looking good. I need to get moving on my Socktober socks as well. I think I’m going to use your yarn in Bogart Blue for them!

My fur-baby is also “persistent”.
