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.

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.

Mending socks tonight. Managed to find the original yarn... Look at how much the colour has faded.

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.

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

I know Clue 4 has come out today but a few days away and decorating mean I've only just finished Clue 3.

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.

I'm down to only three pairs of socks in progress at the moment, however two of them have princess soles... That's a lot of purling.

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@a.gup.pe @fiberarts@a.gup.pe

I did some sock washing on Friday. And this is why I'm trying not to make myself any more socks...
(This does not any of my Christmas socks or the several pairs that were already clean and in my drawer.)

When I make something for someone, my only request is to receive a photo of said something (usually socks) in use by the recipient.

Here are some lace socks on the feet they were made for.

One of my summer holiday plans is to get ahead with making Christmas socks for all my family.
Two pairs currently on the go.

Today I've mainly rested and knitted. Finished one pair of uneven socks for a friend who prefers different size socks on each foot.

Finished another pair of socks. Pair four for 2023.
These are the Necker Socks from the Op Art Socks book.
The texture should mimic a Necker cube.
