Goodness . . I got so carried away about sending Wilbur to the next presidential debate, I almost forgot about posting my knitting progress. So unlike me to forget something! 🙂
I did start on the heel flap! Tomorrow will be a busy day. Not sure how much knitting I’ll get done so I’m not going to make a prediction about my progress. One thing for sure . . I’m glad to be done with the purls for a while.
The pattern calls for 5 repeats which would give you 10 rows of circles but since I added the ribbing and since I knitted a few rows after the last circle row, I only did 4 repeats, or 8 rows of circles. As much as I dislike purling, I love these socks and may just have to make more using this pattern.

Judy, is there a lot of stretch to those “dots”? They kind of look like they stretch well. I just love that yarn color. It’s not normally what I would choose but I just love it.
Are you still working on the Fons and Porter Patriotic Block of the Month?

These look fabulous! I am almost convinced I should give sock knitting a go too and be ready for our next winter!

Your socks are looking great. I finally got my needles free and started on my sockotber socks.

I love your socks….that is a great pattern. I am sure you already gave us information about the pattern – I will have to search back through your blog to find it. I am gaining confidence about my ability to knit a pair of socks. LOL
This is fun, Judy – thanks for having this challenge!

This one is next on my list..I’ve got one more sock in the one with Traveling stitches…that one was a fun new technique, this one looks to be one too and yes I have to have ribbing on my socks.

I love knitting socks and it seems that I hear about *Socktoberfest* every year. Is it a KAL or a challenge? Is it just an expression? Whatever it is, I’d like to know more.
