I didn't have my act together in time to post on Friday; nonetheless, the project parade marches on! Joining the line-up of finished objects, a pretty pair of Jeck socks knit with Sweet Georgia Tough Love Sock.

The yarn, which is the Stella color way, is BRIGHT! I had a difficult time capturing the true hues in a photo, what with the season change screwing with lighting conditions and all, but I assure you, the shades are vibrant.

I chose Jeck hoping that a slip-stitch pattern would keep the colors from pooling, but it didn't work. Regardless, I like the way they turned out. The slipped-stitch rib pattern is very definite and visually appealing, yet incredibly simple, making these a mindless knit.

With cold weather creeping closer daily, it's easy to get carried away amassing a collection of warm, wooly footwear. I'm considering participating in my first Socktoberfest next month. Have you partaken in the festivities in years past? I hope you're enjoying your weekend! See you all Wednesday with another FO.
