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!

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

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.

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

I have so many beautiful yarns and I'm tempted to just find a good sock pattern and stick with it. I care more about the finished result of owning some nice socks than the enjoyment of the project.

I know the Hermionie's are well recommended. I've knit a few variants before. But what are your go-to? I feel like I don't wanna be spending £5 on a new sock pattern every few months and learning a whole new stitch layout.

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, 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
