I finished a pair of socks last week. I’m calling these socks Halloween socks, but I have been told the orange looks like pink in most light. Oh well. I took these socks to work on in Wisconsin. The yarn is from Marilee, so it was almost like having her there with me.
I’m not feeling socks right now, which is frustrating because I have a large sock yarn stash and a desire to have more handknit socks. I hope the mojo returns soon, as I have lots of fall yarn I would like to turn into socks this year.
Yes, it definitely looks pink! Pink, aqua, periwinkle, black and white? I also go in and out of wanting to knit socks – mostly in the summer, when I’m looking for something small and not lap-warming!

I am not feeling socks right now because I do not have a clue where to start – ha! I know I should take a class. I hope you get your mojo back because I need to just live vicariously and look at the socks you make. This pair you posted is awesome of course π

The first pair I knit were Hermione’s everyday sock free pattern on Ravelry and found a 4 part super slow knit along videos on YouTube. If you type in the pattern name and slow then I’m sure you will find them. It’s a great way to start on socks.

They definitely read as pink on my phone so they look lovely. I’m not a big fan of orange so one that looks like pink sometimes sounds like the best kind of orange π

If you want them to be Halloween socks then I reckon they are! They’re gorgeous either way.

Yeah, the picture makes it look more pink, but I don’t see why they can’t be Halloween socks anyway. I hope you get your sock knitting mojo back soon!

I have so many things to knit! I have a cold and instead of being disappointed I am embracing the extra knitting time.

Hmm.. maybe try a different construction technique or pattern to try and get your sock mojo back? I totally know the feeling of having an ever looming sock yarn stash π

Lovely colours! Iβm not feeling it either with socks just now. I started some months ago , but got as far as turning the heel on the first one and ground to a halt. Need to finish them.
