Cables and Socks!

It’s fall, so it’s time for all sorts of yummy knitting.

Cables!

For the Fall Cables KAL, I started Boogie. I didn’t have any bulky yarn in my stash, and I’m trying very hard to be good, so I’m using 2 strands of Lion Brand Wool-Ease held together, on US 10.5 needles.

Here’s the front so far:

It’s a really quick knit. I finished the back (I have no pictures, it’s plain stockinette and gray, very boring) in 2 days. Two days with a lot of knitting, but still!

I doubt it will take me much longer to finish, which is good–sweater vests will probably remain in style just long enough for the fashion world to blink, and I want a chance to wear mine before they go geeky again. :)

Socks!

It’s also Socktoberfest, so I’m knitting away on my socks. I finished the 2nd half of my plain vanilla sock class socks.

They’re not very fall looking–but they will look great on Valentine’s Day:

They were knit using Moda Dea Sassy Stripes in the Crush colorway, on US3 needles. I didn’t follow a pattern really, just the basic sock formula. And since I don’t pay any attention to what part of the colorway I start on, they’re fraternal twins.

I think it adds character.

There is much more knitting goodness to come.

Happy knitting!
