Are you already scheming your Socktoberfest plans? I know I am. There's a flickr group to join if you need inspiration, but I have way more ideas than I will have time. Just for my own reference, here are some of the things I would like to do during Socktoberfest:
- Knit a pair of knee socks
- Knit a pair of socks to give away as a Christmas gift.
- Learn new sock techniques - specifically toe-up, short row toe & heel, and new cast-ons and bind-offs.
- Go to an Oktoberfest celebration (trip to Hermann, MO, anyone?)
- Knit another Nancy Bush sock pattern
- Knit some baby socks for my friend Amy's soon-to-be-born baby, preferably out of the leftover Tiger Stripe sock yarn. (Does anyone have a pattern for baby socks in sock-weight yarn?)

Very Ambitious! Sounds like great sock plans.
That's alot of knitting...I love to knit socks too and am an avid fan of Nancy's sock books. The baby socks should be easy and quick to knit.
Good luck and I'll be watching to see your progress.
Well, that ought to keep you busy!
Great sock plans!
