"Socktober"

I am an avid knitter and always have something in the works.  Lately it is socks!  A few months back a dear friend bought me some of the most beautiful sock yarn, it is aptly named "Chocolate-covered fruit."  I had sock needles, now I have sock yarn.  While there are many, many patterns for socks, since I am teaching myself I picked a basic ribbed version, one with out a lot of fancy stitches that will only get lost in the colours of the yarn. 

Unfortunately I can't find the camera, and my phone simply does not do the yarn justice so pictures will have to come later.
