I honestly feel I have not made much progress over the last two weeks on my sock knitting.  For some reason I seem to be slightly distracted and unable seem to focus on knitting.  I am on the heel of my Vanilla Sock and have three more pattern repeats before I start the heel of my Cozy Autumn Socks, which I am hopeful will be completed in the next week or so.

The Red Robin socks are the final pattern in this first season of The Handmade Sock Society. Inspired by the friendship and energy of our favourite feathered companion, this fun-to-knit pattern shares the same stitch pattern as the Red Robin Shawl, a Curious Handmade favourite! Contrasting cuffs, heels and toes add some extra fun and an opportunity to use a bit of stash. These socks are knit from the top down and are finished with a heel flap and gusset, with a rounded toe, but you can easily substitute and adapt this pattern to get a perfect personalized fit. ~ Helen Stewart

I am trying very hard not to purchase Helen’s pattern collection just so I can cast on the Red Robin Socks.  I love the pattern stitch and the contrasting cuff, heel and toe in red. Sigh … I must finish my current socks before casting on, right ???
