So I finished the other sock this morning. Have to say I'm very proud that I got the stripes to match. Yeah I manipulated the self-striping yarn a little.
Then felted it in the washing machine for a bit. I've been wearing them over a pair of socks today so they've really molded to my feet.
A few notes: the cuffs were knit several inches taller than the pattern called for so they're definitely more like booties. They'll be perfect for spinning on cold nights. Also, I knit completely on dpns because the circs were stretching the yarn more than I was comfortable with.
This pattern is brilliant. Simply brilliant. Now I'm thinking of making some for a few people for giftmas.
*My very first night on AOL waaaay back in 1995 I was wandering around the chat rooms and on a whim went into a room called "Foot Fun". I used to draw my feet a lot because they were always there to stay still for me. Not sure what I was thinking about entering a room called "Foot Fun" but I soon found out it was a chatroom full of foot fetishists. Welcome to the internets.
We had a lot of trick or treaters last night. Well, I should say I had a lot of trick or treaters because Cody was at work. Gave away most of our candy. Mental note: do not tell cheeky nine year old boys to "just grab what they want" because they will. In my defense all the children in the years before him had been so intimidated by the possibilities that they actually did just grab a few treats. Not this kid. Someone always has to ruin the party for the others. Now I do the doling out dammit.
In other news I washed and set some yarn today.
And I'm trying to knit this hat in the October Song yarn but I'm not sure if I have enough yarn for it. We'll see.

Isn't Noro awesome? Your fuzzy feet are gorgeous! Do they live up to their name? I'm woefully behind--still on the cuff! I hope I can make it this Saturday. Work's pretty insane, but maybe if I run into trouble on the fuzzy foot, I can get some help! Hope you guys are doing well!

Me thinks I need some noro... possibly.. Those look beautiful....
I am with you about the circs... I just plain prefer my DPN's... Did you make the cuffs 6" instead of 3? How much extra yarn did that take?

Your fuzzy feet are too cute! I may have to make a pair once holiday knitting is done.

Great Fuzzy Feet!
One little trick-or-treater informed my husband "I can pick one for myself" when hub was passing out treats. It got a nervous laugh out of the kid's mama and a few comments out of us when they were gone. But he was pretty little. heh
