Time to go to Disney!
I'm going to Disney!
Tomorrow DH and I fly down to Orlando Florida for some Disney time. I've never been to Disney so it will be a new experience for me. We'll be doing the parks, going to see Cirque du Soleil (the best show ever) and meeting up with Alyson.
I look forward to having fun on the rides and to getting a bit more sun and warmth before winter starts.
I'll be working on the following socks (which I will be wearing in Rhinebeck in 2 weekends!)
They're just past the heel so in a perfect spot for airport and plane knitting.
I don't know how much knitting time I'll actually have while in Disney but I have a second project for when the Rhinebeck socks are done.
The Elegance sock pattern for the Sockamania KAL.
I'm thinking of also bringing my Snicket socks
I just realized that when I did the heel on the first sock I forgot a very important thing. I forgot to do the heel turn... The sock looks a little strange but fits just fine. So I'm debating whether I should just do the second one the same way or not. I'll call in my own unvention! lol!
Now time for one last errand and finish packing before heading out to Boston!

Yellow
I've always known I didn't like yellow. Can someone tell me what happened?
How did all this yellow yarn make it into the stash? And why do I like it so much?
I'm pretty convinced I like pink too, I think that much is obvious.
Feel free to click on the pictures to make them bigger. Don't forget to wipe the drool off your chin when you're done! : )
***********
Does anyone have the Tree Jacket pattern by Zephyr Style that they'd like to trade for Wicked by the same ladies? I bought the pdf a few months ago and I just know I'll probably never knit it. But the Tree Jacket, I'm pretty sure I will! ETA: Found one!

Welcome Socktoberfest!
Today is the first day of Socktoberfest. Of course I had to join! Although, as you might have noticed, it's been Socktoberfest here at Knitting in Pink since June. My last non-sock FO was the Fitted Tank that I finished June 11. I then started the Razor Cami but that one never made it past a few inches. Since then it's been socks, socks and more socks. I really hope I'm not boring you all to death.
But this month is Socktoberfest so I have no excuse to knit anything but socks. So I hope you'll bear with my socks a little while longer.
This month, I'd like to knit the mate to the following 3 socks: Snicket, Firestarter and Strange Little Mama.
If you remember, I finished my first Snicket sock back in August.
Last night I finished my first Strange Little Mama with picot cuff.
And this morning I finished my Firestarter sock.
So now I'm stuck with this!
Oh no! I have a third foot!
Should I:
Complete each pair one after the other? And if so, which should I start with?
Cast on for all 3 and work on each at the same time?
Cast on for an entirely new sock? If so, do you have a suggestion for me?
