SOCKtober was new to me this year. I didn’t realize that a lot of folks “pre-loaded”. Since you only have to do “some amount of knitting” in October, many folks had lots of socks almost done except for a few stitches so if they were finished in October, they counted.
I got 5 pairs completed which didn’t compare to the 20+ pairs that some folks finished. I was happy to get 5 pairs finished but next year, I’m going to be ready for the competition.
The first pair I finished was my second pair of Diamondbacks.

The second pair I finished, which I also started during the month, was my Blether Socks.

The third pair was the Bobble Socks. These were also started in the middle of October.

The fourth pair is my orange & black socks.

The 5th and final pair – the mystery socks that we started on October 1.

Five pairs finished in a month, with four of them having been started in October. Not bad but next year will be better.

Lots of wonderful socks – love those bobbles. I made not a single pair this year’s Socktoberfest – I think I still have one sock left to finish from last year’s Socktoberfest knitting. One of these days I need to get back to working on socks!

I think you did great, and without working the system – although sometimes it is more fun to do that! ?

Love your work or should I say hobby. Do you by chance sell any of them? (Sorry if this has already been asked but with Northerns coming in here my feet get so cold I have to buy slippers constantly as the don’t last long. I’m interested if you do.

They’re called Pullman pans and one of mine is 13″ x 4″ and the smaller one is 9″ x 4″. You can order them from Amazon, probably Breadtopia or Pleasant Hill Grain – probably anywhere that sells better bread baking supplies.

Your socks are all great. The colors and the patterns are so different. I’d give you an A and those with 20+ didn’t play fair so maybe a B. 🙂 It takes me a lot longer to do a pair than most, so 5 pairs is amazing!!
