Last year the Richmond Knitters has a lot of fun with sOctober, and this year is going to be bigger and better than ever. we had a cast on party on Monday, and I really do love a knit-a-long.
That said, I'm trying to keep it under control, and to continue to knit at least one sock blanket square between projects. So, my plans are:
Mystic Spiral socks with my Richmond Knitters Christmas yarn. You can just see the yarn and toe in the photo above, and I finished the first sock today - I'm a bit sick, and took the day off work, and feel grotty, which sucks, but at least I got a sock finished!
Then I'm going to make a pair of Rachel Coopey socks for Leon using Socks Yeah, that I mainly want to make because I want to combine the leftovers with this fluro pink to make a pair of sneaker liners. Then I'll make another pair of socks, probably with blue sparkle yarn, for me I love some sparkle.
So, my plans are (relatively speaking) fairly restrained, but I'm already up to ten pairs for the year, and this will push me over my target. Still, it's sOcktober, so how can I not knit socks?
As usual on the first Thursday of the month I'm joining in with Once-Upon-A-Sock. Pop over to the link party to see what everyone else is up to this sOcotober, or join in yourself.

Ooh! Those mystic spiral socks are super cool. I love the colorway and the way the yarn pools. Sounds like you have an awesome plan for the KAL with some great patterns and sock yarn!
