Socktoberfest

So I signed up for Socktoberfest. I'm pretty excited. I've been giving some thought to what Socktoberfest means to me. It's not a knit a long or a sock race. It's not an exchange or trade. Socktoberfest is a celebration of sock knitting. Because I knit socks almost exclusively, I've decided to set some goals for Socktoberfest:

1. I will only use yarn from my stash for Socktoberfest socks
2. I will try a new technique - I'm thinking toe up socks
3. I will try a new pattern from a book I already own

What are your plans for Socktoberfest?
