Holidays in October

I read a lot of craft and knitting blogs, but I don't participate in any of the online craft community: I don't refer to myself as a "crafter," I don't participate in secret blog pal yarn swaps, I don't join online knit-alongs (KALS). But I do think this online event is worth mentioning, considering how happy I am with my sock progress: October is the month of Socktoberfest--a "monthlong celebration of socks" by knitters. Of course!

And of course, there's Halloween. I need to come up with a costume soon if I'm going to make one, but, like every year, I'm stuck--unless I can make something like this (links to YouTube, with sound).
