#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.

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)

I knit these bat socks a little bit before Halloween! They were a fun project to do between wanting to tear my hair out over a shirt I was knitting. These are the ‘I’m Batty for Halloween’ socks by Charlotte Stone! They’re from her Charming Colorwork Socks book.

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.

the question is who taught lucanis to knit. was it something he already knew how to do or is he picking it up over the course of the game as part of his 'if I manage to cram enough hobbies in there I won't have to sleep again ever. easy' experiment. did he learn it out of a book (as a sometime knitter, a horrifying thought but I wouldn't put it past him). as hilarious as I find the mental image of caterina with knitting needles I do not believe in it, did he pick it up from someone in the household staff growing up the same way he did cooking. is the sweater he wears with his introductory armour his own work (very funny if so it's just so. incredibly neutral toned and sensible.) I understand why he never does it on screen because animating knitting is the devil's own work and bioware were right to dodge right past it no one should wish themselves that kind of pain, but do you think off-screen he's using it the same way davrin does whittling during team meetings and book club nights (for real the grandmas were so right for this: knitting during social group situations is a neurodivergent life hack like you wouldn't believe if doodling isn't your thing/isn't doing it for you). it's that or sharpening his knives and some people seem to get a bit nervous about that so he mostly sticks to the knit one purl one of it all. does he make things for the team. for romanced rook perhaps. boring but useful things like socks and scarves, to be clear. I think mr. 'I made you a cake (cautiously marital intent)' would not mean to impress just make sure your feet weren't cold jogging around the heights of athim killing darkspawn. knitting more socks for harding so she won't get cold walking around everywhere in her fereldan *checks notes written on palm* clogs. some of taash' outfits... you think rook and lucanis are letting them walk around the anderfels like that without at least a token sensible scarf on even tho adaari are built different in terms of body temperature. I say no not in my lighthouse they would team up and mother hen them to shathann levels before they'd let that happen. (the scarf has dragons on it taash thinks it's kind of cool actually.) a bobble hat for manfred not because he really needs it but because he wanted to feel included. assan indignantly tries to steal it and fly away with it so he gets his own scarf to promote peace between the lighthouse little guys and it works. help.

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.
