Heel turned. STILL magical.

Just about ready to turn that heel!

Lion Brand Superwash Merino (labeled as a DK (3) weight when it's clearly a sport (2) weight) is not good for socks. At least not if you want socks that last.

I used to work at the Studio and got a lot of this yarn for free/reduced prices.

Everything I have ever made with this yarn (including a scarf) has a hole in it now (less than a decade).

Not in the normal wear and tear places either. One sock has a random hole in the leg where the yarn just broke. Just found a new hole in another pair in the cast on (a pair I don't even wear often). The scarf has a hole where the yarn just broke. It's not frayed or wearing thin around the hole. The rest of the scarf looks the same as the day I bound off.

😞

My #knitting project for any online conference I have to be part of ... With a look on my calender, they'll be finished by the weekend at the latest.

6th train ride in 12 days, a total of nearly 20 hours, about 2,400 km traveled.

One sock finished.

I wasn't that motivated to knit, obviously.

I had high hopes for this #sockknitting project. I started it with about 22 h ouf train rides in the immediate future. But then life happend: tired, talking with fellow travelers, making plans for the stay underway, too tired at night, slightly sick on the final (and longest) leg of the journey.

But I love the colors - they make me happy, so everthing's good

#SouvenierYarn

Whenever I travel I try to pick up a ball of (sock) yarn as a memory for the holiday. I might buy a local yarn (if that's possible). Or try to shop at a exceptionally nice store. Or search for colors that remind me of where I was.

Or I just ask my SO what colors he would like to have socks. They are usually very colorful.

Are others also buying souvenir yarn?

Finished in February while on vacation. Forgot to post. #sockknitters #sockknitting #knittersofmastodon #knitters

There's a lot of traveling going on this week, a series of multi hour train rides. A mindless knitting project is essential for those times.

So socks it is. I picked up this ball in a supermarket yesterday on a whim - as if I don't have a ton on sock yarn sitting around the house ...

'preinforcing' my latest striped mashup sock with eye of partridge on the ball of the foot. (lang + regia self striping) #knitting #sockknitters #yarn

This is an experiment, I haven't tried this before

Procrastination in one sphere leads to productivity in another. 2 days after casting on, I have a shortie sock mashing up two self striping colourways #yarn #sockknitters #knitting

I know I should add the trim around the neck and arms before fixing the length on this vest. I know the trim should be in smaller needles than I have with me or will have with me for weeks. Do I buy duplicate needles and keep the momentum, do the trim with the needles I have with the knowledge I might need to rip back and redo, or socks?

I'm on the gusset for the second sock, so I'm about to go back to the top of this decision tree again. #knitting #sockknitters #conundrum

I have some #sockmending to do today so here’s a photo of my most recent repair. #sockknitting #SockKnitters #knitting #loomweaving #loommending

Tried on my stripey socks and they’re way too big. Guess the Taller Half gets two pair of socks!! #Knitting #SockKnitters #KnittersOfMastodon #KnittersOfLSG
