For the last couple of years, I've really wanted some Hallowe'en socks. (I really love Hallowe'en.) While browsing the interwebs one day, I found a yarn at Blue Moon with the perfect array of colours. (Bonus: it's called "Ghoulash." I love that.) I ordered some post-haste and was super-excited to make my Hallowe'en socks. It took me a few tries to get the pattern right - first off, it flashed and pooled way too much; then I changed the pattern and ended up with socks that were way too small. Finally I came up with this stitch pattern which worked pretty well. I wanted them to be interesting but also a bit ghosty - the waves on the socks make me feel like there's a ghost saying "oooOOOOooooOOOOOooo" and even though they're a tiny bit on the big side, I do love them. I will wear them with pride at the Hallowe'en season - or maybe even before!
Pattern: made up out of my own crazy head
Yarn: Blue Moon Fibre Arts Socks That Rock Mediumweight in "Ghoulash"
