I delivered the Rainbow Vanessa Socks to Turtle and was happy to spend some quality time with her clan.
Knit socks also make great hats.
I also had a lovely time playing Marco Polo in the pool with my brother and nephews and niece. The gray socks fit my niece; I was so pleased to find them a home with someone I love enough to give hand knit socks to….and it healed my heart to have them go to someone that knows and loves my dad (the intended recipient).
The niece may have a future in sock modeling.

Back in 2010, I started knitting socks. I never really got the big deal with sock knitting and wasn’t a huge fan of walking on my knitting, but I ran across a little book called Silk Road Socks and quickly became an addict.
Over the years, I’ve made a few socks. Here are some of the Hunter Hammersen socks I’ve knit for you to peruse during this lovely month of Socktober.
Senneh from Silk Road Socks
Chrysanthemum frutescens from The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet
Whippersnapper from Violently Domestic
Chamfers from Violently Domestic
Mashad from Silk Road Socks

Usaks from Silk Road Socks

Happy Socktober, everyone!!!
Ps. I won free Hunter patterns on
Jessica’s Blog, so I want to give her a shout out!

![Confession Time with Katie:
Playing Mario Kart has made me a worse driver. As I drove to lunch with a friend, I wished for a flashing star so I could be invincible and drive through everything.
Also, we're eating bagels for lunch because throwing rules out windows is my new favorite hobby.
Speaking of hobbies, I started a Constellate Hat in the colorway, African Violets by LolaBean Yarn. The first Constellate took me nineteen months so surely i can beat that!
LOL. @marz1pan thought I was knitting a sock for someone with HUGE calves!
In writing news, I plan to send a short story before mid-December so join my Inner Circle Email List if you need a dopamine hit right about now.
I hope you have the Monday you need, Crew! I love you!!!!
[ID: Veggie rosemary bagel and tuna salad sesame seed bagel with a purple hat in progress.]
