These socks aren't my best - a little loose, oops - but I'm really glad I was able to fix them and give them a little more life. 🤎 (Marked as sensitive for feet in socks)

45 minutes of mending, and these socks are functional again! I'm pretty proud of how closely I matched my original knitting. :D Not perfect, but pretty good.

I told a friend I would take a picture of these socks to post on here. I made the pattern myself! It took a few tries to get the cables right, when I knitted them years ago. I think they're probably my favorite pair of socks.

Marked as sensitive because it's a photo of my feet (wearing the socks).

I have something special to share for that's perfect for week... a set of sock patterns that I've been thinking of as the Twisted Trilogy. The pattern names are inspired by the colours of each yarn: Boulevardier, Aviation, and Sapphire Martini.

The (gestures at everything) has delayed my finishing them, but I'm hoping to publish the patterns this year! Here are the cuffs of all three:

All socks have now been received by their new owners and gratefully too! The purple socks were for my mother-in-law, the plain grey for my father-in-law and the dk-weight grey with green heels toes and cuffs for my step-daughter's boyfriend. The purple socks were knit in on Hidden Gem, the plain grey in and the grey and green in

I finished hubby's gingerbread socks in time for Christmas, but he wanted to wear them straight away so better (ie blocked) photos are to follow.

Hubby asked me to knit him some more socks. He prefers handknit socks to commercial socks because not only are they warmer, they actually fit his feet. I'm using in Gingerbread and enjoying the progress. They're not a Christmas gift and he doesn't want to wait for me to block them when they're finished

I finished my FIL's socks, but I had to knit them shorter than I wanted to so I can post them in time. I now have two gifts left to finish then I can cast on my gift to myself: a Christmas sweater!

Second pair of Christmas gift socks now on the needles. These are for my FIL who prefers longer socks so I guess I'll keep going til I run out of yarn

These socks were pretty challenging for me to knit 15 years ago, I recall struggling with them back then, but they came out well in the end. Lithuanian 'Amber' socks pattern from Nancy Bush's "Folk Socks" book. Simple worsted 100% wool. Over the yrs they have slightly felted and are very thick, cushiony, and warm. No holes yet!

Nicest socks i ever knit. Think I'll make a new pair this winter in new colors.

A few years ago, I was given a double-knit sock blank. This means that I have to embrace knitting both socks at the same time, despite the yarn's tangling. On the other hand, the socks are a gorgeous, variegated green. @knitting

Yesterday it was in the high 70s (25°C, ish) outside; today it's barely going to reach 60°F (15°C). I have a new pair of handknit socks to keep my toes unfroze :)
