October is Footober!!

Sorry the pic is so dark...those digital cameras can't be relied on...or is it the photographer? Ahem..where was I? Ah...Footober. These are my materials for the next 2 projects that I Must Do this month. The Noro and Cascade 220 is for felted clogs for my friend, Nettie...the Cascade Fixation for a pair of socks for my mom. I'm thinking of using the broadripple pattern again, but I'd really rather not. Any suggestions? I'm finicky like that. I prefer to use a different pattern every time...sure quells the boredom factor.
Moms are so patient, but I think it's wearing thin...especially after she sees all the other projects I have started and/or finished. Her subtlety? "What ever happened to the socks you were going to make for me?" If you are Asian, ya know what I mean about Asian moms! Ha!
As far as the IK ribbed shrug, I have to start the last cuff ruffle, then seam. Phew! That ribbing really can do ya in, but I always love the look of ribbing.
I never did mention that I had started Spring Fling while I was in K.C. I figured all that ribbing would be good airplane knitting--I cast on with plastic circulars. I decided to pick it up and look at the pattern directions again. BIG BOO BOO! I really am stupid sometimes. Ok, most of the time. But, a rippin' I must go. How did I ever miss the part about size 4 to cast on, then go to 6s for the lace? Geesh! The darn thing will be too small if I leave it the way it is...bummer. I think what will happen is that it will be punished.--and stay in the wip corner til it can learn to play with the big kids!
