I will definitely need to increase the number of heel rows on the next one, but damn it is cute #sockknitting #knittedsocks #knitting #colourworksock

Off the needles! Same yarn but a different pattern for each sock. Both knit toe up but a different heal construction. #knitting #handmade #SockYarn #sockknitting #handknit #knittingmastodon #knit
Just a bit of #sockknitting #SockYarn to unwind . Very
deep stash dive for this yarn. I bought it in 2011. Does that make
it #vintage #yarn? #knitting #knittingsock #handmade
Started knitting a sock but not feeling enthused by the pattern….. Do I frog it or just sit on it for a few days & see ?
Whenever I learn a new technique, it takes a few tries to get it right. When something needs redoing, I need to put it down and work on something else for a bit to restore my patience. Sometimes, I get ambitious and start *another* project involving new techniques to work on in the mean time, and so on and so forth.
Anyway, I'm finally making my way through the backlog now. Third time's the charm!

@Artsandsocks One thing I enjoy about socks that you can also learn so many techniques. A new heel, cast on, cast off etc. I decided to knit 2 different socks with the same yarn so that I could learn another heel.

Sock 1 completed Catherine Macaulay by #KateDavies "This design is named for the eighteenth-century's most radical national historian. Hugely famous in her own time, but little known in ours, Macaulay wrote an eight volume #History of England (to rival that of her contemporary David Hume), supported the democratic, anti-imperial aims of the American and French revolutions, and argued that women's educational opportunities should be equal to those of men." #knitting #handmade #sockknitting
It's been a stressful 2 weeks. Knitting for a such a stress buster for me. Sock 1 almost done

I've seen teeny tiny crochet hooks - 0.6 mm. I've even used them.
But I've never seen #knitting needles of that size. Until today.
I've seen instructions for sock knitting from the late 18hundreds, that suggest to cast on up to 160 sts for one sock. No needle size given, but they are probably in that range ...

Looks like granny squares, but knit?
Very cool.

"Grannycraft Socks"
According to the ravelry pattern page only in Ukrainian, but with chart and video tutorials that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

A bit of train #knitting . Normally I knit toe up 2 at a time to avoid 2nd sock syndrome. This time, I am knitting 1 sock toe up but will choose another pattern for the 2nd sock and go with cuff down. No one examines my feet closely so they'll never know #sockknitting #socks #handmade
Being well and truly enabled by @thegiddystitcher, I am preparing to #knit my first pair of socks (with single coloured practice yarn, not this bougie one...yet)! Cast on and started wondering why I was struggling so badly with my first row. Forgot I had learned to knit English style and was attempting to knit Continental I get the feeling this project will be full of lessons

The trickster fox spirits have nine tails. These guys have… more.
Grafted the second toe. It’s blocking time! As always I don’t post pictures of the soak, since it’s a very vulnerable and personal moment in the life of a knitting project.
