Halloween and Leaf Socks

First of all, I hope everyone had a great Halloween! We took Darth Vader here to the Leesburg Halloween Parade and he had quite a haul of goodies by the end of the night. Yesterday was pretty warm, so I did go, and I'm glad I did. Its such a fun parade for everyone.

Here is the Leaf Sock I've been working on. This is the hand dyed yarn from my Knitters Tea Swap pal and isn't it gorgeous? I love how the greens and the oranges are swirling around each other. I'm doing a simple pattern on it - Waffle Rib from Sensational Knitted Socks. Its pretty brainless, but right now brainless is about all I'm good for and as colorful as this yarn is, I don't want it competing with a complex pattern. I'm hoping that by tomorrow or so, I'll be ready to get back to my cabled cardi. I'll also have a surprise later this week - something new is coming! Don't eat too much candy today!
