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)

Can you spot the #InvisibleMending? :D I think I did a pretty good job!

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 #Fiberuary that's perfect for #texture 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 #WestYorkshireSpinnersSignature4ply on Hidden Gem, the plain grey in #CascadeHeritageSock and the grey and green in #CoopKnitsSocksYeahDK

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. #WestYorkshireSpinnersSignature4ply #GingerbreadSocks #HandknitSocks #SockKnitting #Knitting #KnittingOfMastodon

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 #WestYorkshireSpinnersSignature4ply 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 @knitting #HandKnitSocks
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 :)
