Happy Socktober – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

How fun is this image? So fun! After exhausting my supply of Halloween puzzles I was thrilled to get this month’s subscription box from MicroPuzzles with two more puzzles for my favorite holiday; plus the gift in this month’s box was a perfect compliment to to this puzzle…

Puzzle socks for Socktober! They don’t quite match the colors of the socks on the witch in the middle of the image, but they’re close enough. I don’t normally wear socks here in sweaty, sunny Florida, but how can I part with these? I love everything puzzle related, even these socks that I will wear only rarely.

Even though there was a different micro puzzle in progress in the master bathroom, I had to jump in and immediately get going on this one. As I’m typing up this post the date is October 1, but by the time you’re reading this it will be very close to the end of the month. There are puzzle posts already typed up and scheduled for most of October already, so there’s no waiting on these two holiday puzzles – they need to be assembled quickly in order to be sure they’re ready for posting before Halloween.

Although this is a brightly colored image, it isn’t an easy one to assemble. The two sets of striped socks on either side were much easier to find and assemble than the puzzle socks in the middle, so obviously that’s where I started. The middle bit with the darker background and the socks with four different colored puzzle pieces made for a much more challenging assembly.

Still I absolutely loved it, and was so excited to have some more Halloween puzzles to put together. The quality that MicroPuzzles has makes for fun puzzles that I usually enjoy very much. This one was no different in the quality department, but the image made me so happy that it made for even more entertaining puzzling than usual. I had the best time.💟

Happy Socktober my friends!

    It’s funny, I feel like I could have written this post! I, too, enjoyed this puzzle from my subscription box, and I have a nearly identical photo of my feet in my new puzzle socks. 🙂

    I still have the second puzzle to do from this month’s box.

    What a delightful little puzzle! I don’t think I’ve ever done a micro puzzle before. In addition to being a lower piece count, is it also a smaller piece shape (I have macular degeneration and cataracts, hence I have problematic visual acuity)?

    Your puzzle socks are adorable (I didn’t even know what Socktober was, I had to look it up). I assuredly will be wearing socks here on Halloween night, as the forecast is for 24 degrees (I’m in northern Illinois).

    Okay, you have another micro puzzle in progress in your master bath, what do you put it on while you’re doing it?

    Your posts bring so much enjoyment to others, thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing them. They’re greatly appreciated.

    1. The MicroPuzzles are much smaller pieces, and the finished puzzle is about 4 x 6 inches; they come in a little test tube.

      In my master bath there is a stool next to the commode that has a cookie sheet lined with paper and that’s where the puzzle is so that anyone who uses the bathroom can just pick it up and work on it if they choose.

      Thanks so much for your comment, it’s very nice to hear that you’re enjoying the blog. Happy puzzling my friend!
