Here are big kureyon socks (colorway 5, U.S #4 needles) from the top down, may be my favorites at the moment. I think I am going to entertain myself by taking this photo with all my socks while I continue working on slippers. Other fun over the weekend was making a batch of christmas catnip mice for the family cats, which caused Shadow to act silly around me quite often. I am not sure I exactly approve of catnip...

Here are big kureyon socks (colorway 2, U.S #4 needles) from the toe up. Earlier this fall I did my usual top down sock in big kureyon which I like better than these, will pose them on the happy knitting chair next. I think I would like my next sock knitting skill to be short row heels.

Have made a sole-ful start with slippers.

Wonder if yarn shopping would cure my political blues this morning...

Spent Halloween in my Boo,too socks. You are looking at just shy of 4 skeins of Silk Garden, making for happy warm feet. I tested myself by starting another pair of socks with figure 8 cast on, and got it first try, so I think that skill is mine now. Didn't stop with the test till a whole sock was done using Big Kureyon in color #2(photo when 2nd sock is done, know it is pretty pretty pretty)

Also restarted my Ben look alike helmet because I didn't like the way the increases looked. I had done it the way shown below which left 2 blue stitches in a row and I have switched that now to picture above where I increased both a blue and green stitch at the same place so the stripe remains more consistent.
