Socktober!

Time to stock up for winter and knit some lovely woollen socks! Last year I decided that the month of October would be a sock-knitting month (hence Socktober) and I knitted three pairs of socks for myself (Stricken, Striped Crew Socks and Neldoreth). This year I thought I would knit a pair for each member of our little family.

I'm planning to knit a pair of Rye socks by tincanknits for each one of us three. I love the idea of having identical socks in different colors and sizes. The pattern is simple enough that I might just be able to finish all three pairs this month even with my limited time for knitting. 

I already started my socks tonight. I'm making mine gray because almost all of my woollen socks are of bright colors and I don't actually have gray socks! I was planning on a neutral color for Magnus as well, but the baby will get colorful ones. 

P.S. I finished my Dessine-moi un mouton pullover today, but it's still wet and blocking so I have to wait before I get to show it to you...
