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.

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! 😃

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.

@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

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!

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
