The Sock Monster

I finally gave in to the sock bug. I think every knitter eventually gets bit and some just succumb.

My holiday tradition, for myself, is to wear Christmas themed socks every Christmas morning. I wanted to knit a pair for myself this year. After some head scratching and "What the hell does that mean?" I finally have Christmas socks!

I made them with Gnomeacres To Be Jolly sock yarn and it's wonderfully squishy. I can't wait until the new holiday colors come out. I plan on making my mom and sister Christmas socks too. Right now, Amanda Gnome has Halloween colors out that are amazing but I've stopped myself from buying anything.

I did start another pair of vanilla socks with my yarn I bought from Loopy Yarns in Chicago. That was such a great little store so my new socks will be my Chicago Adventure socks and remind me of my trip.

I've been bit hard.
