Although Fall hasn't officially started, we woke up with temperatures in the 50's this morning. YAY! I can wear my hand-knitted socks! Going back to work last week (short week after the Labor Day weekend) was nasty! I clocked in with 8 hours of overtime - which I don't get paid for, as I'm salaried. But I did manage some knitting time. I finished the Cookie A's Daphne Sock - sock #1, that is... I really like knitting and wearing it. By the way, I did not decrease the gusset to 28 stitches. I decreased it to 32 stitches to match the foot - I was knitting the 60-stitch size.
And also the Hazel Knits Mystery Sock. Again, sock #1 through Clue 2.
The back of the sock has a different design.
Also, I am now up to 7 hexagons for my Beekeeper's Quilt!
This week, I plan to cast on second socks for the Mystery and Daphne and maybe a few more hexagons. This blanket will be made of Bugga and Skinny Bugga's only. So if you have any Bugga/Skinny Buggas that you have no use for, send them my way!
Love the Daphne and mystery socks. Mine are coming along too.

The Cookie A sock is beautiful. You have more knitting moxie than I do because I can't do mystery projects. Sure, I'll sign up for them but then I wait to see how the project turns out before I will cast on! I guess it is fear of the unknown that holds me back.

That Daphne is one sweet-looking sock. Love. I also like the way the mystery sock is coming out, but I don't see doing it myself.
Enjoy the Bugga Blankie. That's a whole lot of little hexagons to make....
