I did the entire cuff with only ribbing before realizing that the cables go ALL the way up the sock , but I frogged it and took a short time-out and I’m finally finished with the cuff for real now
I’ve got a little further than this, but it’s too hot to show you ☀️
But I totally LOVE this yarn. @theyarncollective Bloomsbury DK in Copper.
I’m looking forward to cool autumn evenings in the garden, with a fire going, a glass of wine, and coppery, autumnal softness.
Right now, though, I’m plotting what I can squirrel away in my backpack for a 110 mile hike… A skein of sock yarn and a pair of circulars, perhaps? That won’t take up too much room, right??
A better picture of my progress with much less clutter. You can’t tell but I’m nearing the end oft the skein! And I finally finished the neck part and did the first increase round!!
Full color commission for AL-818 on DeviantArt. Another piece with these beautiful triplet girls! They got new sweaters ^^ Here’s the last commission with them.
My friend/co-worker asked me to knit her socks. She knits herself but it’s different when they are made by someone else. Her fave colour is purple, so…
Oh I forgot to post these. These I made for my brother’s girlfriend for Christmas. I was in bit of a hurry (okay I’m just a really slow knitter) and needed something fast but pretty. These were real easy and fast to knit!
These I made for my dad. Had to use cable needle on every row so these were a little slow to knit, especially since they are ~29cm from heel to toe… But I really like how they turned out. The colours are a bit off, my dad took the photos, but it’s a very beautiful green.
I started knitting these when I was in the car with my mom, going for a little cruise (to buy cheap booze really). Mom asked if she could have these, not even knowing how these would turn out.
Today I’m giving these to her, I hope she likes them.
A current trend that I am utterly obsessed with is over-the-knee socks. Hurry up and pick up a pair for yourself, because stores are selling out of these babies fast! Though it is important to choose fall friendly colors (given the time of the year), you cannot go wrong pairing these with a pleated skirt and a simple top (maybe even an oxford if you’re into Gossip Girl!) to get that classy collegiate look. For an edgier and looser look, they could be paired with a skater skirt and a leather jacket. No matter how you decide to wear them, over-the-knee socks are definitely in right now.
Local stores I have seen over-the-knee socks being sold at: American Apparel,Forever 21, & Target
Classic Turtleneck B&W - A flashback to a photo I took before a night out in Chicago. The giant collar and soft alpaca wool were perfect for the 20F weather.
Teaching myself how to cable knit has resulted in some cabled arm warmers! I was able to slightly modify this pattern from The Snugglery, and I think they turned out great!!
