The leaves have started changing color in St. Paul so I thought, why not knit socks to follow the colors of the season?A few days ago I knit a swatch from Charlene Schurch's book "Sensational Knitted Socks". It's a four-stitch repeat called elongated rib. I liked the springy feel of it, so I ripped it out about two minutes after taking the picture on the left and casted on. (It's Wollmeise yarn, colorway is Spice Market.)
The sock has been decreased approx. 12 stitches from cast-on to the eighth repeat for calf-shaping.
There's about 575 yds/skein, so I'm thinking about knitting longer socks than I usually knit. The German Stockings will certainly trump these for length, though!

That elongated rib pattern really compliments that colorway. It's beautiful so far.
Thanks Emily! It's an easy-to-memorize pattern. Perfect for the bus knitting and lively knitting groups.
Nice Debra - great colors. Very autumnal.
