Socktober is Here!!

Woohoo!!! I am that pleased about it. I am going to work soley (get it??!) on socks this month. I already have two pairs on the needles I want to finish (pink & purple and spider) plus I have an idea of a pair I want to make He Who Pays for Christmas. I know I still have brother in law from the city's wrist warmer to finish but that won't take long and I am going to leave my 'Amused' sweater on the needles until next month.

I will hopefully have a lot of knitting time as I am going to be travelling quite a bit for a couple of days in October and I won't be doing the driving so that is perfect sock knitting time.

I have also finished a Wine Bottle Sweater I was knitting as a test piece to help one of the Stornoway Knit N Natter group and I am really pleased with it:
Now, this sweater doesn't cover the whole bottle as I stopped short as it was only a test piece. However, this is an incredibly easy and quick knit from the most recent edition of Knitsimple magazine and I can see me making a few of these as gifts for the red wine drinkers I know.

In other news, I still have to write the audiobook review for the fantastic 'The Secret Language of Knitters' audiobook from Knitting Out Loud publishing but I will get round to that soon. I wasn't well for a while so haven't had a chance. In the meantime I have started listening to their other recent addition 'Mason-Dixon Knitting' from the printed book on my mobile phone so that will take me longer to get through as I will probably only be listening in the car or maybe when walking but still shaping up to be a good listen.

I also have every intention of doing two specific blog posts about knitting podcasts and magazines I like but can't promise that before the end of October.

Happy knitting everyone :o)
