gay ass socks (part 4)
hello hello! someone reblogged my last post about these socks earlier and it reminded me to post an update! (thank you to anyone who reads these by the way i appreciate it!!!)
happy to say that the calf increases worked out very well! my measurements were right on, and the stripes are looking a lot better this time around. i'm also past the point i was at before frogging, it's nice to keep making progress now!
you can't see in this photo but the yarn is just starting to transition from this coral-y shade into the true pink, it'll probably be obvious within the next few stripes! i'm gonna keep going with these until they're over my knee before i start the brioche tops, and that'll probably take a little while, but they're getting there!
not sure yet if i want to decrease back down under the knee, but i'll keep them as they are for now. as long as they're not too loose they should be ok
thanks for reading!

gay ass socks (part 1)
hey there! first post on this blog! i thought it might be nice to have a more casual place to share my projects (i used to maintain an instagram for this, but who has that kind of time, right?)
so, anyways. The Socks.
i knit these suckers back in, like, spring 2022? something like that? they were a shockingly fun project for something so big and repetitive, but unfortunately back then i was a terribly tight knitter (i'm still prone to gauge issues, but at least i know how to deal with it now) and they came out way too small to ever be wearable. they've been shamefully shoved in the bottom of my forgotten projects bin since then
but damn do i love the idea of these socks and i still badly went to wear them! so i'm finally frogging them and starting over
i did most of the frogging the other night while rewatching alien (1979), then last night i reskeined them-
-which looks pleasantly like ramen noodles, and then dunked them in some cold water and straightened out the fibers. they're hanging up to dry now but i bet i'll be able to rewind them tonight and maybe cast on the toes!
i'm going to redo these in a slightly different pattern - this time i'll try out "Brioche Topped Thigh High Socks" by Lavanya Patricella, because i've been in a brioche mood lately, and i want to try and use up every scrap of the yarn to get these socks as long as possible!
also i need a nice easy project to bring to lectures, and my other project (big cabled cardigan) is not working out for that
anyways, thanks for reading and i can't wait to show more of this project!
