I agree !! Socks are the best and they require NO SEWING if you make them toe-up for example. I insist, no sewing !! You can knit in stockinette in the round for hours, bless.
something that has always seemed odd to me is the fear of socks that a lot of people online talk about, because socks are one of my favourite things to knit.
and i promise you, socks are not hard to knit. if you know how to cast on, knit, purl, decrease (specifically k2tog and p2tog), and pick up stitches you can knit a sock. it will not be the world's most exciting sock, but a sock is a sock.
you know how to knit rib and stockinette in the round? great! that's the majority of the sock done already! all you need to do now is figure out how to knit a heel! you can look that up online, or ask a friend (personally, i borrowed a god-knows-how-old pattern for vanilla socks from my mum).
a lot of sock knitting is up to preference, too. you can knit plain colour vanilla socks, or you can choose a fun yarn. you can give them some kind of texture (seed stitch, rib, cables, whatever your heart desires) if you like, though personally i avoid texture of the sole of the sock. you can do colourwork, if you like! it looks great, and with the small number of stitches each round flies by. there's a BUNCH of different ways to knit heels (though i only know how to do one of them). you can graft the toe or cinch it. you can shape the toe to fit a certain foot or you can make them symmetrical. you can knit odd socks on purpose. the world is your god damn oyster! KNIT A SOCK!!!

Now that I have to pause the crochet shawl, I'm allowed to start a new project!
I'll make this sweater
But the body will be in the colored color gradient, and the rubbing parts will be in the grey-black gradient. I also want to add a collar
Still totally in love with this color
I only hope I understand the pattern correctly...

Glorfindel, Lord of the House of the Golden Flower
I used the same general design I've used for him before. Lots of gold and floral motifs. I wanted a flowing sense in his clothing and I wanted to make him look like he was dancing as much as fighting.
Glorfindel felt like a nice choice for the New Year.

If anyone is looking for a delightfully squishy turtle neck, I highly recommend the Brioche Bliss Sweater by Rust Knitwear or Simone Ryan! I knit it in Lanagrossa Cool Wool Lace (held double) and Setasuri and it’s a yarny dream

Y’all won the poll enough times, the sunflower tote for my mom is done! It’s more of a golden yellow than it looks in these photos, and all the stitching is done with rainbow variegated thread, because my mom loves rainbows almost as much as she loves sunflowers

New shawl, same old chair.
Pattern is Kællingesjal knit in one strand of Arwetta + one strand of Tilia. It's super fluffy and I wish I could keep it, but it is a gift for my sister.
If you want to read my approximately one million notes, I am as always steffstrik on Ravelry :)

OMG I DID IT
ive finished the handsome chris pullover!!
okay it spent 4 months in the Fuck You bin before assembly bc i was generally unhappy with it. but a couple days ago i took it out to either assemble or unravel and voila! it wasnt so bad after all... must have been too tired??
maybe, just maybe, ill knit another one in a few months. bigger and better 🤣. misha, my favorite cousin, definitely needs one, if he wears pullovers at all. an important birthday is coming up (in about a year, i know how to pace myself lol), so yeah. could happen

Thorin Oakenshield
Y´all don´t understand how close I was to just giving him a mullet and be done with it💀
Thoughts↓
I gave him a raven forehead tattoo because of Erebor, and of course, I´m always giving my dwarves greyish skin :)
Nabbing @peasant-player HC of Thorin chopping off his beard and only letting it regrow when he becomes king again, also it would be so symbolic of him being a Longbeard, who are known for having the longest beards, and only letting it regrow when he feels worthy again :´) - they also have a HC that most of his beads are given by his family over the years which is really wholesome - also also they drew young Thorin for me here!!
I also really liked @meluiloth HC that he wears silver over gold which is such a cool match for his silver streaking hair, so forgive me professor, but Thorin does not have any gold rings
