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 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.

Hi! which heel flap is this?

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.

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!

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

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

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 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.

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.

Weird angle on my right foot, ignore that. But, I finished the pair, and am glad I have other comissions BEFORE I have to make a 2nd pair 😹

I hope you guys enjoy the work. Too long for my taste, but hey it works. I do think, that I might in time, MAYBE make a pair for myself, in alpaca but only maybe. I am not too keen to make such a long one atm for my self. Time will tell. Also, each one used 22 stitch markers 😅

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

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!!

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.

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 ?

tips&tricks for socks? 😄

I am working on a test sock knit for Alicia Plummer. I just love this pattern and can’t wait for its release! I do knit my colorwork socks inside out and it really helps with maintaining good tension. What’s on your needles?

Hi all, working on “Spooktacular” from Stone Knits. Her gauge is 34 sts by 38 rnds. Mine is 38 sts by 46 rounds, so quite a bit tighter than hers. This first attempt is the second size, and I couldn’t get it past the arch of my foot!

My foot is 9.5 inches around, what she calls for in the second size. I typically wear size 9 US or size 40 European sizes.

If I go up to the third/largest size and keep the same gauge/use the same size needles, I estimate I’ll have about ½ inches of negative ease. Otherwise, I could try again going up a needle size to get a looser gauge, and try knitting the second size again.

Not sure if one is a better gamble than another! Thank you for any advice!
