It's been awhile since I've posted since I finished my “Sockoberfest” socks on the trip back from New York City (NYC) on the weekend before Halloween. It felt good to finish the socks. I had started a pair over the Christmas Holiday last year. I finished the first sock within a week. It was also on a car traveling trip. However the second sock of the pair took until summer to be completed knitting. Only on the trip down to NYC did I finish sewing in the end threads. It so happens, during the trip my daughter needed a pair of socks to keep her ankles warm. “Voila”!
Now, I’ve started a new “hat” project. I searched for Alpaca wool thin enough to match the guage in the pattern and after 3 shops I gave up. I decided to use a “sport” weight and compute a new guage once I started. Boy, did I have to do some real figuring. It felt good to do it though. It’s been awhile. My daughter kept asking what I was up to, because it took all Saturday morning. 
Here is a picture of the new pattern graph compared to the original.I’ll let you know how it goes.
