Since it still needs its partner I'll call it a WIP.
Second sock knitted technically though, the first got a bit too big so adjusted my stitch count some and made this that fits a lot better. Now I just need to make a matching one.
Sock is knitted toe up from a YouTube tutorial.
Once I got the matching one I'll find the nicer sock yarn, swatch and calculate how many stitches I need for that in different parts.
Cast on a Christmas sock today! It won't become a complete sock, just long enough to reach my cast (I have a broken ankle) and stay put so I can parade my toes this Christmas.
I'm using Bow Ties Are Cool by Snooptigger Crafts because I figured bow ties are very festive.
Finished! Socks for Dad for Xmas, that's all the Xmas gifts finished for this year (except for hubs' because he's not sure what he wants)
Now I'm on to a possibly long-term project - I have a lot of sock yarns which I'd like to use up, and I'd like more jumpers. I have made a start on one using 2 strands of sock yarn together.
This pair of socks is my absolute favourite i ever made. I Started them in February and finished them in March.
All the details are in my blog post about them. Ican´t describe them fully here, because they are from a vintage booklet (which is free online - you will find the link also in my Blog Post). It was a weird knitting process, with only three needles and a bit of sewing.
Recently, we had a charity fundraising fair to raise money for Royal Manchester Children's Hospital where we had crafts, books, and a few other things on sale but the most popular thing was the raffle, which I donated a voucher for a pair of handmade socks.
So now I'm starting on the pair for the winner :)
