Socktoberfest socks #8, Socks of 2006 #36, #42 ever
Yarn: BMFA Sock Candy in Lapis
Pattern: Dublin Bay
Started: 10/26/06
Finished: 10/31/06
I finished my Halloween socks, making 8 pairs for Socktoberfest and checking yet another yarn off my list.
I really love the colors in Sock Candy and I enjoyed working with it. The yarn is splitty in a weird way. The ends were unravelling quite a bit (and it's made of many little threadlike strands) but I didn't have much of a problem when I was knitting with it. It's a little stretchy, but nothing near the stretch of Cascade Fixation. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable knit!
Better pictures in daylight, I just had to get these in for the end of Socktoberfest. :)

They're awesome - I like!! I think I'll do that pattern with my other Sock Candy. :) Seriously, torn between this one and Fixation for my favorite cotton blend sock yarn...
Awesome job there! Thanks for the info on the sock candy, I have some coming!
Love the new blog look BTW! :)
geez, 8 pairs? I only finished one!
I guess this makes you my new sock hero!
Will you sign my tape measure?
Very lovely socks, Stariel!
