Scarecrow Socks In Progress

My socks from the Scarecrow kit aren't flying off the needles, but the first one is coming along.

I love how the perfect Fall colors spiral around the leg.

Of course, working the heel stopped the spiraling for a bit and introduced some pooling even though I used the contrasting color for the heel flap and turn and switched back to the main color for the gussets.  Obviously that means I'm farther along on sock #1 than the photos suggest.  I'm actually nearing the toe, and since there's just a little over a week left in October it also means I need to get moving if I want to finish these off for Socktoberfest! Where on Earth did the month of October go!?!
