socktoberfest is going to be a long month, I can tell

I'm not sure what I've gotten myself into. Today I purchased a set of double pointed knitting needles that resemble overgrown toothpicks, and a skein of yarn that, while beautiful, looks more like it should be stored with my embroidery thread.

socktoberfest!

As if I didn’t have enough crafts getting geared up now that the sun spends less and less time in the sky (and more and more behind the clouds), I intend to use Socktoberfest to start my very first knitted sock! Enough with the scarves, washcloths, and hats…. it’s time to attempt… A SOCK! (insert triumphant fanfare here).

Fortunately for me, Knitmoka has agreed to help me get started (and hopefully around the dreaded heel). She's set me off with a shopping list and a pattern is en route. Wish me luck!
