The month is Socktober as many of we knitters know it, a time where big projects get put aside and sock knitting gets the focus, and so I too am running with the herd this year! Nothing very sentimental, poetic, metaphorical, or research-laden here, just another pair of whimsical socks rattling with a dull roar through the rounds, and with a wonderfully Autumnal colorway “copper”. I am working the chart A of Walking With Emma socks, with a mini one-over-one squiggly cable, further exploring the alternating cable crossing. Hmm, maybe though I have reached a limit, finding that perhaps 1/1 crossing is a bit too wee to even notice, but fun and playful if one happens to . . .

Oh! And I managed to finish a pair, finally the second sock to the original first sock posted last July! As I write this, these socks are in the post, in a birthday parcel to my youngest niece at university, she’s going to really love them I hope !

Pattern: Walking With Emma, with chart D rib.
Yarn: Berocco Ultra Wool Fine, in Ocean.

I love the squiggly cable and the copper color. It makes me think of trudging through lovely Autumn leaves in cold & dewy morning, wearing a favorite pair of leather lace-up boots over those plush warm socks…..so looking forward to that!
Oh, that’s a GOOD visualization, I’m looking forward to it too! Did you feel the drop in temperature, about an hour or so ago? I was just writing this post, windows all open, and suddenly its like the AC came on , a chilling breeze blew through the house! LOVE THAT! xx
Yes! Down here it was very cool at 7am. Actually needed to put an extra layer on. Lets do our little rain dance rumble.
Love that one over one cable. It is a great time to knit socks!!
Hey , thanks! I do love the cabled socks!
