#hand knitted socks

[comfortabletextiles]

I have finished a pair of socks!

I like the pattern of the first sock more. I think the chaos suits the colors. But I like the second sock a bit more in general, because the cuff isn't as chaotic.

All in all it doesn't matter, because they are at home socks, and all the need to be is warm and comfy 😌

Thank you @roboticchibitan for making these socks possible with your hand dyed yarn 💛

These are my second attempt at knitting socks, I used the Hermione’s Everyday Sock pattern, it’s a very popular free pattern which uses misaligned knit and purls to create a texture along with a modified eye of partridge heel flap and gusset. I used West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4-ply yarn in the Wood Pigeon colourway, hence why I call them my ‘pigeon socks’.

I took what I’d learned from my first pair of socks, which I had treated as a study and chance to experiment with how socks are made, and implemented it in these, mainly that I prefer DPN’s. Though I did take a risk on the second sock and tried out a pair of mini circs, I HATED them, I have a hypermobile disorder along with chronic tendonitis, I live in compression gloves as a result to manage the pain, the mini circs were so painful, it messed up my tension along with making the process less enjoyable and as a result I didn’t realise I’d messed up the pattern which is what you can see on the left sock in the image above, the one on the right has the correct texture. But despite that mess up I still love these socks and plan on knitting a pair using each of the bird themed yarns from West Yorkshire Spinners using different patterns.

That tea sounds really good and pretty socks

Heeeey it's been a hot minute since I last had tea and knitting to show you but the school year has come to an end so I've brought home the socks I was knitting on hall duty and at meetings there! :-D

Pattern is my own tinkering, just some columns of YO lace that I didn't need to look at a chart for while knitting on hall duty; yarn is Serenity Sock Prints from Premier Yarns (now discontinued; I had stashed it at my parents' house years ago as backup knitting in case I was visiting them and finished a WIP or something, and they have been decluttering as they prepare to move so I brought my old yarns home [along with a whole lot of books and old t-shirts. Oh dear.])

And today's tea is Spiced Caramel Pear, which I liked as a CommuniTEA sample a while back and ordered a whole bag! It does exactly what it says on the tin; I can taste the spices, the caramel, and the pear all in lovely proportions.

The finished fall Stardew Valley socks

I learned a lot from this project and while I still had a few issues with tension I feel a lot more confident with colourwork.

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)

Yarn is from Juniper Moon Farm, Herriot Fine yarn in the color ‘timber wolf’ (75/25 baby alpaca/nylon). Needles are size 0 wooden needles from lykke. Bunny cables are from ‘Bunny Sock Hop’ by Ann Clark on Ravelry

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!

I'm getting to a point where I can knit basic socks almost entirely from memory. This pair is a gift to my partner.

cleaning my room and i found the first thing i ever tried to knit as a child. theres a couple more strips of garter stitch done with clearly improved motor skills but i feel very sentimentaly attached to this somehow. it's like finding a preserved textile in a bog.

it's cool to compare it to my most recent finished object-- since actually teaching myself back in October. i love learning. i love seeing past evidence of my love of crafts.
