SockTart Episode Ten: May Contain Traces of Peanuts

What?! Blathering on for a half hour about knitting isn't enough? :)

Okay, okay...

This week we come to the realization that 2x monthly can be a good thing, and get caught up on what's been happening in the big old world of "life"...Knitting, Warcrack, fitness, and lots and lots of socks!

On/Off the needles:

- The Nevermore Socks (nicknamed "Goldfinch" by Sherri) are about to have Sock 1 come off the needles.

Knitty!

We talk about what's happening with the latest Knitty, and look into all the wonderful sock and "warm your extremity" items that are available this month

New Socks on the Block

We find & comment on a small handful of recently released/published sock patterns on Ravelry.
Please look 'em up on Ravelry for links!

3 Socks by Nicole Masson (Stefanina):
Sea Waves Socks: honeycomb-inspired pattern over the top and cuff
Marina Labyrinth Socks: More twisted cable stitches! This time they wander all over the foot.
Pomme de Pin: Toe up sock with a pattern on the cuff that reminds me of the 3-D cubes in Q-bert

Others...

Little Roses by Linda Fisher: Delicate little flowers move in rows down the cuff and foot of this sock. Very pretty!
Knitty Twist Socks by Cylan Gul: a single-stitch cable runs all over the foot in a diamond grid
Boxcar Willie Socks by Anne Podlesak: Very easy beginner patter with knits & purls
O Socks! by Shana Kreikmeier: Inspired by the designer's home of Omaha, Nebraska, the socks mix ribs with small cables
Boo! Toe-up Socks by Emily B. Miller: The 3rd sock in the Super Sock Scarefest, this sock features little ghosty-faces all over a nice long leg design
