Sock Knitting

I finished the second pair of short/sport socks from this wonderful colorway of Filly. It took a bit of bright blue at the end of the toes. If I’d knit one less full round in each sock, there would have been enough to complete all four. Next time.

Some more deep stash knit up! This yarn/pattern combo was from the April 2013 Cookie A Sock Club. 📖 Pattern: Tulip Socks by Cookie A 🧶 Dream in Color Everlasting Sock in the colorway “Violet Hour” I knit these using size 0 Addi FlexiFlips. This was my first time using them and I didn’t hate them, but they do feel a bit awkward in my hands. #tulipsocks #cookiea #cookieasockclub #cookieasockclub2013 #cookiesockclubapril2013 #topdownsocks #operationsockdrawer #sharppointysticks #knit #knitter #knitlife #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #knittersofig #knitting #nevernotknitting #instaknit #igknitters #knitters #yarn #yarnlove #knittinglove #knitlove #alwaysknitting #castonallthethings #stashbusting #stashdash https://www.instagram.com/p/CgUutVup4ae/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Taking stock of my knitting projects this year, it appears that I have been knitting rather a lot of socks and was able to really focus on my sock knitting technique. Today I finally got round to writing up my post on the top five tips for knitting up the perfect pair of top-down vanilla socks. The post is now available on the blog

Trotz meines linken Armes geht es langsam aber es geht.

Die Wolle habe ich von @ingridbohmisch #bojoswolltraum und ehrlich gesagt, hat mich dieser Strang einige Nerven gekostet. 😂 Kennt ihr bestimmt. Ihr nehmt euch einen Strang und alles was ihr anstrickt, gefällt einem nicht. Mittlerweile bin ich bei NS 2,25 angelangt und jetzt wildert die Wolle und ich habe keine Ringel mehr 😂😂😂

Wolle: Opal; handgefärbt von #bojoswolltraum NS 2,25 @knitprodeu Royalé Muster: Chart aus dem Internet

Pirate Socks

I only needed to weave in the yarn ends of these pirate socks. I weave them diagonally into the stockinette, which doesn’t seem to affect the stretchiness of the fabric or show on the right side. I haven’t knit a pair of these in years, so I promptly cast on another pair!

Pirate Socks

My first new knitting project for 2025 is a pair of pirate (scrappy) socks. Piecing together the best of past socks seems an appropriate choice.

Sock Knitting

I’m particularly pleased by this cheery pair of sport/short socks. It doesn’t matter that they’ll be hidden inside my shoes. 😛 The first pair used almost exactly half the ball of yarn, so I’ve started a second pair. There will be yarn chicken.

I’m always on the lookout for cotton/wool sock yarn. Unfortunately, it looks like this yarn is discontinued. The manufacturer’s site doesn’t list it and online stores all say it’s out of stock.

Pirate Socks

Pirate socks! To display the Opal yarn of the cuffs to its best advantage, I decided to use helical knitting to spread out the patterned yarn. This Zitron Trekking Pro Natura yarn picks up the red in the Opal colorway nicely. The results are magnificent! On double pointed needles, of course. 😋

Pirate Socks

This pair of scrappy pirate socks is a first for me. After the cuffs, every stripe, heel flap, and heel turn, even the tips of the toes, is a different colorway. That’s a total of 35 different yarns! 😜 I was reluctant to use the last of some leftover yarn, but it was made to be used.

Pirate Socks

Completing WIPs like these scrappy pirate socks. Helical knitting in the ankle, foot, and toe transforms leftover yarn as if by magic!

The first half of the foot is yarn from the pair at top of 3rd photo and some blue tonal and marled Trekking XXL. I like it so much that I’m seriously thinking of frogging and reknitting the old socks.

The rest of the foot is colorful but somewhat dark Regia in jewel tones and an antique yellow yarn Sugarplum Circus. All of the colors leap to life and make me think of 19th century carnivals.

Mother's Day

I spent this Mother’s Day with kind memories, drinking the coconut cocoa tea she introduced me to and starting pirate socks the way she taught me, using leftover Opal yarn I inherited from her stash. I can see her eyes in the mirror and her hands, knitting, when I look down at my own.

Sock Knitting

The top-down, heel flap, and gusset sock I began knitting on the interisland ferry is coming along nicely. The lighthearted colorway reminds me of sunrises.

I’m always on the lookout for cotton/wool sock yarn. Unfortunately, it looks like this yarn is discontinued. The manufacturer’s site doesn’t list it and online stores all say it’s out of stock. 🫤
