On and off the Needles

Soctoberfest is off to a great start. I've already completed one sock and I've started its mate. The yarn is Opal's Antonia Handyed color 3173. I got it at here at Simply Socks Yarn. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how the first sock knit up. Just look at the pooling...

And this is the beginning of the second sock. Hmmmm... I don't think this one is going to pool like the first one. I think it will be more of a irregular stripe which was the effect I got on the foot of the first sock. Darn... I really want it to pool, but I don't know that there is anything I can do to make it happen. Now I ordered 2 other colorways of this yarn and I'm seriously considering buying more. I also saw it yesterday here at Yarn.com. They have a colorway that SSYC doesn't. Oh very tempting!

Hope your Soctoberfest is woolly and warm!

    I love the color of your sock. I just may have to get started learning how to knit socks. I love what everyone is doing with the beautiful yarns. What is that wire frame contraption that you have in the second one. I guess this shows how dumb I am about socks, huh?
