I'm not really a two at a time sock fan but I think I'm going to run out of the dark purple. So I'm knitting from both ends of the ball. But they grow so much slower. #knitting #HandknitSocks #FibreCrafts #FiberCrafts #KnittersOfMastodon

That was a rather quick project. Only cast on 26 hours ago. Hopefully in left enough of the scraps to make a matching second sock. #knitting #HandknitSocks #FibreCrafts #FiberCrafts #KnittersOfMastodon

Mending socks tonight. Managed to find the original yarn... Look at how much the colour has faded. #knitting #HandknitSocks #FibreCrafts #FiberCrafts #KnittersOfMastodon

I do not enjoy weaving ends. One of these socks is not like the others... (it has its ends darned in).
There are four pairs of socks here and a top and a cowl. (Those last two are also not like the others!)
I should weave these ends in before I do any more knitting on the three pairs of socks on the needles.

Off the bobbins. It's actually really well balanced, much to my surprise. I always forget how much twist you can get away with when plying! 100m ish, DK weight ish. #handspun #handspinning #FiberCrafts #FibreCrafts #eewnano2

A lesson in yarn dominance. Not too noticeable and it's on the sock cuff. But I carried purple as dominant on the right hand sock and cream as dominant on the left hand sock. Note to self. Write down which colour you've carried as dominant! #knitting #HandknitSocks #FibreCrafts #FiberCrafts #KnittersOfMastodon @knitting

Urgh! That was hard work. Chain plying on the little Electric Eel Nano 2. Much harder than on my treadle wheel. But it's plied. I'll set the twist tomorrow and then there's probably a gnome to be made from this. #spinning #handspinning #FiberCrafts #FibreCrafts #eewnano2

It's done. In time for the friend's return from holiday, a birthday gift.
Double knit cowl with outdoor theme.
Do you have a favourite side... I'm not sure I do. I like them both. #knitting #KnittersOfMastodon #FibreCrafts #FiberCrafts @knitting

One done - a Christmas sock for my Dad who is red/green colourblind.
I'm hoping these colour choices mean he'll be able to appreciate the colours.

Christmas sock opinion...
Poll in next reply.
Should I put purple and cream stripes on the toe or continue with the robin stripes. #knitting #HandknitSocks #FibreCrafts #FiberCrafts #KnittersOfMastodon

More Christmas socks. These are for Dad who is colourblind so avoiding red and green stripes. But I think this stripey yarn will work after the colourwork cuff. #knitting #HandknitSocks #FibreCrafts #FiberCrafts #KnittersOfMastodon @knitting@a.gup.pe @fiberarts@a.gup.pe
