Not me just totally forgetting to post these here despite literally being the moderator and also in charge of making our current theme Halloween... 🤦‍♀️

Anyway. Here are your unsolicited sock pics.

Sock one was done by this time last year, but I just wasn't really vibing with it. It looked really weird and not sock shaped because of the cables down either side, and something about the way the orange and purple yarn knitted up was disappointing to me.

Pulled that first sock out of the drawer a couple of months ago intending to frog it, and of course now I was in love with it!

The second one has featured in many a WIP Wednesday post lately, but here we are. A few mistakes, including a wrong turn on the cables while waiting for husband to get out of surgery a few weeks ago. So now they're not only Halloween colours, they're also a reminder of a genuinely scary night!

OoooooOOOOoooEEEEeeeeOOOooooo!

Pattern is "Aquaphobia Socks" by Crystal Flanagan, discontinued but you can find what info there still is on Ravelry https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/aquaphobia-socks

Yarn was a Halloween special from Bellwether Yarns a couple years back, and I don't think she does it anymore either!

This was not a helpful reference section 😂

I scoured my ravelry account and the ONLY explicitly Halloween thing I've ever knit is this scarf whose progress was chronicled here. Lots of animal/character hats, but I don't think of them as Halloween-y.
