First sock in all its glory.
Seems like I'll need to buy another skein in that color way, it's just too pretty.
And I just realized the pretty German word "Ringelsocke" doesn't translate into English. 🧐
I grabbed the v pattern from these socks https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/passion-knit-socks.
It's very squishy, adding a lot of extra layers. This is probably a good pattern stitch for places where extra layers are a good idea (hat, backside of mittens ...)
-
"Officially" I'm working on a summer top.
Inofficially I love these socks so much, that I bing knit on it over the weekend and the first one is already finished.
And a tad too small. I used more sts than usual (because 2.0 mm needles instead of 2.25 mm needles) and I made more rounds on the foot.
But it's not enough.
Now I'll have to ask my daughter if she wants them ...
-
Last year I found a bunch of interesting looking DPNs, which probably are antique.
Today I finally got around to measuring them - the later ones are about 2 mm, the thinner ones are 1.5 mm 😮
I decided to try the larger ones on my next sock project
They work great, even when they are a bit longer than I like my needles. Completely smooth, the sts just glide along.
-
Just decided to use a variation of the pattern that was on the vest I made last week. Fewer sts so I can fit it 4 times around the leg.
-
Starting new socks
That's manly colors in my household so I'm casting on 72 sts.
Let's see what I come up with after the cuff...
-
Finished. Actually the next pair is also finished but I didn't get to take pictures before today. Pictures for the other ones will come soon.
They are for my daughter and she loves them. The brioche stripes add some really nice squishyness - I think I really should use that stitch more often, especially for socks.

I've made quite the progress on my second Christmas sock: the heel is turned! Onward to finish all the rounds on the leg. Have a lovely Monday! 😃

One down, one to go.
I think I like how this turns out so far.
-
Happy chicken-socks-day, if you observe!
-
Heel turned. I've added a smattering of the same lace to the leg and foot, but on stockinette background instead of garter stitch.
-
On the road again - so much time traveling recently, this time to visit my MIL for the Easter holiday with our son who hasn't seen his Grandma in a long time.
New sock project to keep me occupied in the passenger seat.
This is a lace edge that will be a fold over the cuff. Yarn is from last year's #Schafpate collection in the color way "Wildblumenwiese" (wild flower meadow), the lace pattern is called Daisy lace 🌼
-
Still knitting the same pair of socks.
I'm feeling a bit under the weather the last few days, so not a lot of progress. But a long weekend is ahead and quite a bit of traveling again.
-
Remember this post? ⬆️
Well, I stalled a while before starting the embroidery, but ta-da! Right in time for easter-y spring-y season.
-
A measure of how much too large the carousel socks were for my feet: I’m knitting a regular toe-up sock with the frogged yarn, and just the heel hexagon takes me almost to the cuff!
My mum has mentioned how much she likes the yarn three times now so these will be for her.
-
More travel knitting - this time a train ride, on the way to Vienna.
Socks, of course. No pattern, just a stitch I found somewhere.
-
More socks ... because I can't decide what else to make (or which project to finish).
Pattern is "Silver Lace Socks" https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/silver-lake-socks
The pattern says it's for a fingering weight yarn, but 3.0 mm needles and 48 sts for an adult sock point more in the direction of a sport weight yarn.
Anyway, I'm using 66 sts and all the usual adaptions. And ssk instead of k2togtbl.
-
And they are done. With all of 2.9 g of yarn left over ... Which is enough so I didn't feel like I'm playing yarn chicken - so maybe a perfect use of the yarn?
Anyway - the pattern stitch is from a design called "Thorsminde", which is a Danish village we actually passed through with a short stop last summer (I only realized that after finishing the socks).
Yarn is a hand dyed merino sock from Bart & Francis https://www.bart-francis.be/en/merinosock-softysock-75-25/g-118

Wenn es zum Teekauf Wolle dazu gibt, kann ich auch nichts dafür, dass ich mir jetzt Hasensocken stricken muss 😉 #sockknitting #eastersocks #sockenstricken
-
More travel knitting - on our way back home.
The second such shortly before the heel increases start. One day I might learn that knitting while sitting in a hotel bed is not comfortable and I don't have to bring a lot of extra yarn for such trips. One day.
-
*frogged*
I dropped a stitch when attaching yarn for a forethought heel. Toe down sock, stitch on the toe-side of the hole so the stitches are 'upside down'. I cannot get my brain around how to pick it up properly. Anyone with a (link to a) good explanation? I really don't want to unravel the whole foot.
Edit: it’s technically picked up in the pic, but it doesn’t look right in the red/pink colorwork (gaping stitches). I’m looking for the correct way to fix.
-
One down, one more to go.
Colors from the picture above are more accurate. I made an additional modification while I was at it: some ribbing under the arch. I've done that a few times in the last few years and quite liked it but then I forgot about that again. Now let's see if my partner likes that.
Link to pattern is in the post above.
-
All done!
Pattern: Trail Magic socks by Summer Lee
Yarn: Lang Jawoll 94 (cream), 60 (red), 250 (ochre) and 109 (pink)

Float appreciation toot. #knitting #sockknitting

First sock done. Started during the Rockets match on Wednesday, finished during the Victoire match. Both losses. Maybe when I do the second sock, we'll have wins.
-
However, I'm excited to move on to the next part of my story and where it might take me.
Baa Baa Brighouse social media accounts will remain operational for the present and you can still contact me here as usual but I do intend to close them in the coming months.
So, if you'd like to help with our stock clearance, visit www.baabaabrighouse.co.uk
Happy Knitting!

I'm trying to reinforce the vulnerable spot before they even can be worn through.
I took a length of yarn and wove it vertically through the loops on the backside at the ball of the foot. Kind of mending before the hole has a chance to appear. It's completely invisible from the outside.
In about 2 or 3 years I'll know if this works ...

Het leuke aan Regia Pairfect is dat je heel makkelijk twee precies dezelfde sokken maakt.

Off the needles! Same yarn but a different pattern for each sock. Both knit toe up but a different heal construction. #knitting #handmade #SockYarn #sockknitting #handknit #knittingmastodon #knit

@AlasdairStuart I released a new set of three knitting patterns last month, does that count? :)
Each one of the Twisted Trilogy of Sock Patterns - Boulevardier, Sapphire Martini, and Aviation - has a different twisted stitch pattern, and each one is named for a cocktail that matches the colour of the yarn I used for the sample sock.
The patterns can be purchased on Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/designers/knittingpirate
or Payhip: https://payhip.com/KnittingPirate

Première tentative de "banana socks" (sans talon, avec des mailles qui font qu'elles se courbent toutes seules, mais surtout: elles s'adaptent à la croissance de petits pieds !). Première paire tout acrylique aussi (plus rapide et moins cher pour le test).

This #WIPWednesday I'm mostly still working my way through a thing of antibiotics and feeling crappy.
But also made it up to the first striped bit of Second Sock, and there's #LegoMasters to catch up on in a bit, so things could definitely be worse.
-
Finally my first sock is (mostly) done! I ended up making a lot of mistakes with the heel placement and decreasing for the toe and heel, but I can put it on my foot!
I'll be weaving in the ends and seeing if blocking will help at all with uneven tension, and then I guess off to start a hopefully nicer looking sock nr. 2

CW: Sock on a foot.
I finished my first sock finally, it did get benched a bit after initial cast on
It is slightly big so adjusting my calculations a bit and will do another pair and leave this as a sample/prototype (I'm currently using cheap yarn to learn).
I know I will need to re-calculate gauge with another yarn, but with one sock that fits nicely I can measure some parts of that and translate to the gauge of the new yarn, hopefully.
-
Slowly but surely progress is being made! I made one mistake in the pattern so far, but otherwise it's been pretty smooth work. I am a little scared of getting to the heel part....

I'm really good at getting distracted and starting new projects in the middle of other ones.. so now I'm trying my hand at knitting a pair of Norwegian socks with color work for the first time! I'm pretty sure I'm doing a lot wrong, but maybe it'll be wearable at the end!

Seeing all those pictures of other people doing the great jobs in mending things, I finally succumbed and got out a pair of socks that had a hole.
The thread was broken, I suspect it was caught somewhere because the break was rather clean. It were two threads and I tried an invisible mend. Only partially successful, but it's at the ankle so not that visible anyway.

A game of yarn chicken but not a serious one. The pattern is Jeeves (as in Jeeves and Wooster) and despite the seeming complexity of the pattern, it is easy to memorize. Yarn is the sturdy and likely vintage Kroy. #Kroy #twistedhanks #Jeeves #sockaddict #sockknitting #knittersofmastodon @knitting @fiberarts
-
Slow but steady progress on these socks. I am liking the two at a time method a lot!
3 more inches til I start the heel.
