Haven't done any knitting in a couple of weeks - can't be good for me.
Time to cast on Twinkle Toes Sock #3. Already made Sock #1.
Very different - it uses double pointed needles instead of cable needles, and larger (3.5mm) needles.
Going to switch the red and the cream, because I have more leftover cream yarn.
Let's see how it goes.
Whadya bet I forget about the colour switch at some point and just follow the pattern instructions?

And now we're back to the expensive but actually suitable-for-socks yarn, this time in a nice variegated light grey mix (the slightly green tones you can see are a camera artefact; the yarn's actually very calmly monochrome). This time I've made them a bit narrower, and I think that's going to work very well.

There is someone else I'd like to knit a pair for. Unfortunately, he has the sort of wife who'd be inclined to object to extramarital socks.

Why should creatures of the night be denied the pleasure of cozy knitwear?

Going Batty Sock Pattern
- Toe-up stranded colorwork
- 2.00 mm/ US0 and 2.25mm/ US1 needles
- fingering yarn (50g-210m)
- gauge: 36sts x 40 rnds per 10cm/4inches

A bit of train #knitting . Normally I knit toe up 2 at a time to avoid 2nd sock syndrome. This time, I am knitting 1 sock toe up but will choose another pattern for the 2nd sock and go with cuff down. No one examines my feet closely so they'll never know #sockknitting #socks #handmade

Finished my first pair of socks!

Now, I didn't have the wrapper with the yarn that told me the length anymore, long gone, so I was eyeballing how much to use. I didn't make the left sock's leg portion very long at all.

But it was too long to make an actual matching pair with what was left over, I had enough to do the foot and heel and cuff but basically no leg portion. I'm not that bothered as these were for me and a way of learning socks.

My roommates want socks now, and though I want to eventually try making my own socks without a pattern this year, I would appreciate the experience knitting different sizes from a pattern. So. I'm knitting them socks from the same pattern. But I have enough yarn for their socks to make them match. :3

Well I just finished #knitting a shawl. I decided 2025 will be the year I knit anything except shawls! I want to improve my skills in knitting #vests #sweaters #socks #fingerlessmitts and #hats . Give me a shout if you have a favourite #knittingpattern in those categories. #knitting_inspiration #recommendations #handmade #handknit

This is where we currently are with the socks; as you see, I'm now on the home straight. I do still have the contrast yarn left for the tops, so hopefully they're not going to be too ridiculously short, but 50 g of main yarn per sock is not a great deal when it's fairly dense yarn and you have cables.

I have had a bunch of the same pairs of boot socks for a couple years. Was spending time with family today and had removed my boots at the door ( #midwest ), and someone pointed out that both my socks had a letter R on them. Apparently these socks have left and right feet indicators! And I was wearing two Rs because I literally never noticed

I absolutely adore #knitwear designer Kate Davies. Not only does she write beautiful patterns but she writes such interesting articles on knitting in history.
