socktober comes to an end

The Mystery Sock-A-Long by Kirsten Kapur - Through the Loops

This mystery was so fun - and I really liked using the Plucky MCN fingering - the color is so rich. I think I like knitting in pieces like this because I am essentially knitting two at a time, no second sock syndrom. I actually have a pair - but I had to re-knit my second toe tonight to make it a little longer, and now it's too dark in the midwest for a decent picture. Soon it will be too dark on either end of the day - ack, winter is looming. Before snow fell - me and my family ran off to Disney World.


Alice in Wonderland and a mini-Geisha in front of our hotel

We had such a good time - it was kind of hard to come back to real life - but we have managed. I think of WDW as a "working vacation" with all of the planning and running - but it was so much fun. The best part was Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween party. My girls got to dance with Chip and Dale and we hauled home about 10 lbs of candy from our trick-or-treat adventure. The park is decked out for Halloween and the crowd is limited - so we were able to ride Space Mountain twice in a row at 11:30 pm. My 5-year-old was a crazy ride hound - every roller coaster she was tall enough for and the Tower of Terror 5 times in a row. It was such a great time.

So what is next on the needles? Something with Shelter? Maybe another mystery sock? I'll get back to you, have a great week til then!
