I started my Halloween socks over the weekend! The yarn is Strong Sock in the Haunted House colorway from Ms Monster Creations on Etsy, who is also the dyer of my big Halloween yarn advent from both last year and this year. I did not know (or remember) that it was self-striping, so that was… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday: Spooky Edition
The Black Hole socks are done! DH was having fun posing 🙂 I know these look like they are hanging off the front of his toes, but his feet really are that long! Anyway, whew! Glad those are done! Going to give myself a little break before the next pair of socks. Time for some… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday

So that is what I’m doing. I’m doing my usual plain vanilla toe-up socks, but to his measurements and in plain… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday: Black Hole Socks
They are done! I managed to use up pretty much all of both mini-skein sets, and quite a bit of the charcoal yarn, so that is a help to my sad attempts at stash reduction. They are reasonably festive, and I am pretty happy with how they turned out! They are my standard plain vanilla… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday: Xmas in July Done!
My scrappy mismatch Christmas socks are proceeding along. After the charcoal stripe I’m currently working on, I have two more miniskein stripes for each sock and a charcoal between them. So not much further to go! How are your projects (crafty or not) going?
Slow but steady progress on my scrappy stripey Christmas socks – hopefully there will be more stripe to show by next week! Are you doing Christmas in July socks? How are they going?
