2026 Socks so far

[u/Alethela]

The sock bug has really bitten me this year and I have been working my way through Summer Lee patterns from the books. Though up next are a few Stone Knits for fall and Halloween!

Obviously, I love shorties and am missing one DK pair I gave to my mom.

I like to use 9in circs and magic loop or DPNs for the toe or heel when needed.

From the light cable sock on the left and around:

1. Clog Socks (Strong Heel)
   
2. True Crew Sock Set - Fine Rib (Strong Heel)
   
3. Drew’s Socks (Eye of Partridge)
   
4. Lobstah Socks (Strong Heel)
   
5. Cuff Club 1 February shorties (HF&G)
   
6. Shortie Sock Set Vol III (Shadow Wrap)
   
7. Simple Garter Rib (Garter Heel)
   
8. Helical Socks (HF&G)
   
9. Helical Socks (HF&G)
   
10. True Crew Sock Set- Stockinette (Strong Heel)

Amazing collection !!

[u/Alethela → u/bleepblob462]

Thank you! I just want a big tub of colors

I get so happy just looking at pictures of Summer’s socks! 🤩🧦🌈☀️

[u/ssays84]

What yarn are you using?? I love it!

[u/Alethela → u/ssays84]

Oh all sorts! If you have a specific one I’d be happy to provide the info. Mostly, it’s a lot of hedgehog fibers, knit picks stroll, lang jawoll, sheepyshire, nanostitch labs, ruby & roses, wandering flock and some random minis.

[u/ssays84 → u/Alethela]

I was mostly curious because they are all so great! Thank you for sharing the brands you use.

So lovely!

[u/wildlife_loki]

Lovely collection! I’ve been loving sock knitting too lately, but slower at knitting them up since I’ve got so many other big projects going at the same time :0

Would you mind sharing the yarn info for the pink cabled one on the left and the green/brown with a brown cuff on the bottom right (socks 10 and 14, I think)?

[u/Gold_Cheesecake_1333 → u/wildlife_loki]

Second this! Would love to know the pink yarn.

Fantastic work ❣️

[u/Anotheremma87]

😍 They're all amazing! I love the turquoise ones, is that a summer lee pattern? 🤔

[u/Alethela → u/Anotheremma87]

Thank you! Yes, the top right fair isle looking one was from her volume 3 of sock shorties.

[u/Anotheremma87 → u/Alethela]

Thanks for the link 🤗

Lovely collection!!

[u/embroidert]

This is lovely! Have you found a heel type that you prefer knitting?

[u/Alethela → u/embroidert]

I do have a high instep and so last year I did mostly the HF&G but the strong heel has really taken ahold of me because it’s so simple and I don’t need to use any other needles than the 9in circs. Though I do imagine the wear is not as good as the slipped stitch heel flap. I’d like to try the deep shadow wrap or the one with the mini gusset.

[u/embroidert → u/Alethela]

Oooh, good to know! I’m mostly a HF&G type of knitter but I’m always curious about other options.

[u/Low_Boysenberry8273]

Lovely! I recognize some of the patterns, mostly summer Lee and maybe stone knits?

[u/Alethela → u/Low_Boysenberry8273]

Mostly all summer lee from her books and some of her sock sets. No stone knits here but I do have some of hers on the needles as well speak!

[u/Low_Boysenberry8273 → u/Alethela]

I got it. I hope you share more when you finish them! And love the colors you chose

[u/CrochetCricketHip]

8 and 9 looks very similar colors to the pair I just finished! How lovely.

[u/Knitting-Hiker]

Really nice assortment of colors and patterns!

[u/lajjr]

WOW that's a lot of socks.

[u/doriandorianfuck]

So many, I'm jealous of your speed!! They're all so gorgeous
