Socks again…

Yes, I know I wasn’t talking about socks. But the second stripy silk sock is being re-knit at a pleasantly fast rate, so I feel a bit more friendly towards them now.

And then, this morning, Issue 47 of Simply Knitting dropped through the letterbox. Not only does it contain a free calendar which features a sock pattern for every month, but there’s also a thirteenth sock pattern inside the magazine itself!

I’m sure this must be terribly dull for anyone who doesn’t have the slightest interest in socks, but I couldn’t be more pleased.

Rugged Rambler socks

“Rugged Rambler” are cabled socks, knitted in DK yarn, on two needles. Excellent! I had sort of sworn that I would never have anything to do with cabled socks ever again, but in DK they should work up twice as quickly, and I think these will be lovely and snug inside a pair of warm winter boots.

Skull socks!

But oh! Look at these spooky beauties!

The fairisle pattern’s almost the same as the one I used on my skull jumper:

Skull & crossbones jumper

Now I can’t possibly resist knitting socks to match!

I don’t think I’ll have them ready in time for Hallowe’en, but I’ll definitely be knitting a pair of these for myself this winter.
