#Hand Knit Socks

[janerhoadesart]

Finally finished and blocked these cute socks!

It was a fun experiment with color dominance in colorwork knitting and gave me a really thick, soft, cushiony fabric. They’re super comfy and almost more like slipper-socks.

Pattern: Call Them Cherry Blossoms by Tiina Kuu

Yarn: knitpicks palette and knitpicks stroll glimmer (discontinued)

April socks done!

I had to take a week off knitting, and the two weeks around that week I barely knitted, since I have this weird radiating pain from the outside of my shoulders. I still managed to finish these though! And I'm very happy with them. I don't know what yarn this is, as it’s the oldest sock yarn I had in my stash (hence why I chose to knit with it now). Still the same pattern as Februari and March, and the same as May will be (which I just started on! Handdyed yarn!)

Thank you and see you on the next update!

another entry into the endless discussion of how long it takes to knit a sock.

it's not bound off because i wasn't sure if my kid would want some 1x1 ribbing at the top, but they say no thank you, so this is it done. i bound off just now and it took less than ten minutes.

we watched the extended edition lotr movies over the last few days, and i knit this whole we watched. i started out working on a jumper, but by the time frodo was leaving the shire, i'd realised that i didn't want to be faffing about with underarm stitches when they were, say, in the mines, so i grabbed some sock yarn and cast on for mindless knitting instead.

i was knitting a little intermittently, since i can't knit when crying uncontrollably, and we didn't watch all the credits, and also i started a bit after the movie did. the movies are about 11 hours and 40 minutes, including the credits. so the sock, beginning to end, took less than 11 hours of knitting, and honestly probably closer to ten.

socks are fast and easy, i swear! let 2024 be the year you let handknitting socks into your heart!

NEW SOCKS JUST DROPPED!

No pattern, but based on the "for the frill of it" socks on ravelry. Used a sweet tomato heel and liked it, but it could've benefited from a few less rows in the foot to accommodate such a deep heel.

Overall really happy with these! They knit up so fast. I am calling them my lilypad socks because they remind me of lakes and the frill is just like a lilypad :)

I need knitting ideas for beginners (I'm like a crochet pro I'm trying to branch out)

I've made scarves and pot holders <3

I told my mom I was finishing knitting “my first pair of socks.” She protested saying they were NOT my first pair and showed me these slippers that I knitted for her probably over 15 years ago. I love seeing them side by side. What a difference years of practice can do.

These two are the same sock pattern, in the same colors, knit in the same way EXCEPT I reversed how I hold the two different yarn strands.

It’s called color dominance and it’s such a fun technique to play with!

These are another pair of loom knitted socks using the KB Sock Loom (fine gauge) set at 52 pegs, and using the “Escher Bats” colourwork pattern from the AlterKnit Stitch Dictionary book.

I still had some @mothyandthesquid merino sock yarn in “Ruby” & “Midnight Black” leftover from my blood drip socks earlier in the year so it was a no brainer to just use that! I love the gentle variegation in the red, and both are just so soft to knit and wear.

I wasn’t quite sure about the colourwork though after the first sock, as I felt the red bats disappeared a bit. But I carried on with the second, hoping they’d look better after blocking and thankfully I was right!

the sum of my accomplishments this month: a pile of mended handknit socks and a completed puzzle of Coast Salish artist Francis Horne Sr.'s work SASQUATCH.

you can find the puzzle here: https://nativenorthwest.ca/1000-piece-jigsaw-puzzle-sasquatch/

mending methods used: duplicate stitching over worn stitches, woven patch darning over holes.

supplies used: darning egg, tapestry needle, scrap fingering weight yarn in a variety of colours

May! It was a busy month with school, hence why I didn't finish these untill june 7th. But I suppose that's fitting, since I've been calling these my pride socks! Its handdyed (by me!) yarn as a triangle dying experiment with my new ashford dyes. At some point these got quite tedious to make, but I'm happy to have finished them. The pattern is, as always, Nice ribbed socks on ravelry.

I've already casted on my june pair (also handdyed, but this time selfstriping!), here's to hoping I will finish these on time. Especially since the next 2,5 ish weeks are very busy at uni.

Thank you and have a nice day!

It's officially the first time I knitt something with my hand spun yarn!!!

My unicorn 2.0 is turning into a nice pair of socks, it seems a cloudy sky 😄

Baby slippers

Finally finished these socks!! :D

It’s been a long time coming - I loved the look of this pattern when I got my giant 100-projects book, but definitely wasn’t up to the challenge at the time. It felt great to come back to it and find that I could do it with relative ease! The slipped-stitch raised stripe technique is one I’ve done before on these socks, and I think the effect is so cool; I’ve been incorporating it into my own hat pattern.

These are so vibrant and fun, and I wore them to my graduation last week!

Pattern: ‘Slippery Slope Socks’ by General Hogbuffer - here on Ravelry - in Interweave’s 100 Knits pattern book

Yarn: Orange is Schoppel Woll Crazy Zauberball in ‘Orangerie’, white is Cascade 220 Fingering in ‘Natural’
