During the month of October, well I actually started the pink pair the end of September, I knit two pair of socks.The pink pair is for a friend who we had asked to take some portraits for us. She appreciates handknit!
The brown striped pair I made for her husband. The last time I gave socks to L, her husband said he wished for a pair. I thought it wasn't fair to give L another pair without a pair for M also. I hope they fit and he gets much joy and warmth from wearing them.
The pink pair is Brown Sheep Wildfoote in the Acappella color. The brown pair is Austermann Step with Aloe in Coal(460). Both pair were knit toe up with a regular heel flap. The actual knitting time took about two weeks, but I had to wait until the photo shoot last Monday to present the socks to L. I also knit a shawl for L as an extra gift. Next time pictures of her in the shawl.I am busily knitting away on Christmas projects and the spinning has not been left behind this time. I am spending about 20 minutes each day spinning. I even did some wool dyeing last Monday and have been spinning that up with a project in mind.
The end of this week my mom and aunt are coming to DC for a visit. They have both been to DC before, in fact my aunt lived here for a year, but they haven't been here since we moved here. It will be fun to show them our place. With that said, I have a lot to get ready for them.
Happy knitting and spinning.

Good looking socks! I really like the colors...
The socks look good! And have fun with the visit! We told Mom that she couldn't come visit us because her travel path these days seems to include snow. Snow in Denver, snow on the East coast. We're supposed to have only have a little rain this week. I'd like to keep it that way!
I really need to learn to knit socks, I think I will take a sock class in Feb when I am not working anymore :P
