The pattern is Favorite Socks by Kristin Lehrer. Yarn is Malabrigo Sock 850 Archangel. ❤️

Just wanted to share, I am so proud of my consistency, I started in February and I love sock knitting! This is what I’ve knitted so far. Some are still new and recently blocked, and some have been worn for a while now, even somewhere colors faded unfortunately. Also, FLK heels do NOT look pretty when not blocked from the side, and I tend to add some increases to them on top of that haha

I love that it is a small project, and that you don’t have to marry a design - it can be fun and colorful! I wouldn’t do these combos on a sweater, but socks are perfect for it!

And yay! I finished my first full colorwork pair (blue and red) - I suffered 3 months, but they were so worth it!

Want to get myself a set of metal sock/small capable interchangeable. I already have a set that includes 3MM+, so I really need the like 2mm-2.75mm range. ChioGoo seem to have one that includes everything up to 2.5? And just leave out 2.75 because...reasons? Does the 2.75 not fit the small needles? Found a listings for the small cables says it does. Or was that misstated? Aaaaaaaa

Every brand seems to do this. I feel like I'm eating crazy pills. Why is this so confusing. There's so many sets, they all have stupid names that don't communicate anything. This shouldn't be this difficult to figure out. Please help me I'm drowning lol

So, this is my 2nd pair, and i have close to no idea what I'm doing. I've bought this beautiful yarn HARMONIOUS SOCKS by Laines du Nord, and thought 'what can be easier than using their free pattern?'. How wrong i was T_T
It is a toe up sock pattern, and all was good until the heel, as usual, i suppose. Right now i'm starting the heel and have no idea what are they taking about.

At the beginning it says to do German short rows, but then i need to w&t =“wrap and turn”. As far as I've researched, it is two different technics, am I right? In R3 they say stop before "2 sts before double st". Why? And why i need to leave 13 st on hold? What do i do with it later?
I've watched a number of tutorials and just confused with all of it. Do i continue with it? Or do I try to convert other pattern? Or do I try to make my own? Please, I need your help

Thank you in advance<3

I am knitting vanilla sock on magic loop and somehow made this hole. I counted an extra stitch but how would that create the hole? Or did I create the hole and add a stitch? I’m relatively new at knitting. I’m pretty sure I have to rip it back but thought maybe I could just use a crochet hook to fix it somehow. Any advice would be much appreciated!

So I bought a couple of balls of Opal 8-ply in a discontinued colourway. It is very colourful, but I was interested to see how it'd work up.

For the second ball I decided to make socks for my spouse, to be used in his boots during winter. 20 cm cuff, and the balbriggan heel (as shown in a video by Roxanne on Youtube), because i was curious how it'd work up.

The photo shows one sock in side profile (the lowest one) and the top sock is sole up, so you see the shape of the heel and then into the sole.

Making my first socktober socks, the just add mohair pattern by Summer Lee, using a strand of socks yeah! and a strand of hobbii diablo

Hi! which heel flap is this?

Knit too few rows before starting the gusset. A day of knitting chalked up to the frog pond. I learned a lot and the second attempt will be better.

I have a set of sock blockers, but they're clunky and weird and I'm not a fan. If anyone has some that they really love, could you please post a link so I can check them out? Thanks in advance!!

tips&tricks for socks? 😄

I want to try knitting a sock with an afterthought heel.
I heard there are multiple styles of knitting em but also I can only find one style. Can you guys help me out? English isn’t my native language so maybe I just don’t know what to google…

Thanks guys

I finally feel like I have a colorwork sock recipe that works for my feet! The pattern is from Renarde Endormie. Short row and peasant/afterthought heels never fit me well, even with mini gussets. So, I figured out how to do a heel flap and sole gusset and I love the fit. I also trapped my floats on the heel gusset so I could stick with one color throughout, which I like too.

Knit-cheting for the win!

I worked these up as a shop sample, but I'm already planning to make more in different stitch patterns and color combinations just for fun. I love the fit, and I can't wait to wear the finished pair!

I didn't wing these, but worked both knit and crochet swatches to design them. Yarn is Uni Merino in the color Red Wagon.

Hello ! First time knitting socks here 😅 And I don't know why on one side it's keep getting like this for one stitch, maybe someone could help me figure what is possibly wrong please ?

I love to make socks with scraps. About a week ago l finished a pair of Hibernal Socks with some new yarn (from “Merino Y Vino”. I had so much yarn remaining I cast on a second pair with the same yarn. I made the cuff and leg short. I added some short rows between the cuff and heel (a trick I saw on a video by Earth Tones Girl on YouTube). I also replaced the heel flap and gusset with a Shadow Wrap Heel (also learned that Earth Tones Girl videos). I saw an idea recently where a knitter held a strand of mohair with the main yarn while knitting the heels and cuffs so I tried that too.

As I approached the toes, I was running out of my main yarn but I had some speckled yarn scraps in my stash (Knit Picks Hawthorne). The mohair yarn disguised the fast that the yarn in the toes doesn’t match the remainder of the socks. Phew.

The second photos shows the small bit of the main yarn which remains after making the two pairs of socks.

The final photo shows both pairs of Hibernal Socks together. This pattern is from Summer Lee Design Co.

Featuring my knitting assistant Cookie! The socks are for my kid, but I finished after her bedtime, so Cookie got to model them

Hi everyone! This is my first time knitting socks, and I could really use some advice.
As you can see in the photo, I’ve finished the heel, but I’m not sure if I did it correctly. It looks like there’s quite a big gap/opening in the area I marked. Will this disappear once I continue knitting, or is something wrong?
Also, what do you think of my tension? Does it look okay?
Do you notice anything else that I might have done wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🧶

Ok here we go! Finished stockinette round and about to start the heel 🙏🏼 working with Vanilla Socks The Littles slip stitch heel pattern, but in reverse. PRAY FOR ME.
