I finished the second sock! These came together very easily and I might be a convert to toe up construction. There are some great instructions here.

Toe Up Sock Finished
Posted in Knitting, Sock Knitting on Feb 15th, 2012
I finished my sock. I cast off using Elizabeth Zimmerman’s sewn cast off, which worked a treat – I should have used this method on this – it might have stretched over their heads! Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Sewn Cast Off Cut your yarn so the tail is about three times as long as the knitting and [...]
My Sock is Almost Finished

The first sock is practically complete. I just have to cast off – apparently there is a good method in Knitting Without Tears..
On the Home Stretch (at Least of the First Sock)
Posted in Knitting, Sock Knitting on Feb 3rd, 2012
I’m onto the leg! There’s a bit of a hole where I rejoined the heel to the instep, so I might need to do something else on sock two. The pattern on the instep and leg is a cross stitch rib (see below) Cross Stitch Rib – Multiples of 3 stitches R1: *Skip 1st stitch, [...]
More Sock Progress
Posted in Knitting, Sock Knitting on Feb 1st, 2012
I’ve turned the heel on my sock and now I’m knitting the heel flap (opposite to when you knit from the cuff down). So far so good – although I think I am in a bit of denial as to how big this sock is going to be! Also, a fifth needle would be really [...]
Toe Up Sock
Posted in Knitting, Sock Knitting on Jan 30th, 2012
I’ve made a bit of progress on my sock. It is turning out to be quite large, but I think that will be OK. I’m not quite up to the ankle/gusset part yet and I am intrigued as to how that will go. We went here to escape the heat. We all had a lovely [...]
Toe Up Sock Construction

I decided it was time for a new sock knitting challenge (obviously not a pair a month because I failed that one!). I’ve never made toe up socks and so I decided it was time. I watched the DVD that came with the Sock Masterclass, which made it look extremely easy (of course) plus I [...]

A new sock project. As Miss P likes hand knitted socks and she has grown out of her other ones, it is time to knit her more socks. It is just going to to be a simple sock. The yarn is Online supersocke summer colour 1326.
I finished Knitting the Socks
Posted in Knitting, Sock Knitting on Aug 9th, 2011
I finished the socks! I’m going to have a bit of a break from sock knitting because I want to knit something else – I’m going to use my 12 ply yarn from here. On a completely different note what is the difference between SSK and K2tog tbl?
May/June and now July socks
Posted in Knitting, Sock Knitting, Yarn Stash on Jul 26th, 2011
Oh dear! A pair of socks a month has completely fallen by the wayside. I have finished one sock and I’m about a quarter of the way through the other! I’ve been watching North and South while knitting – what a fantastic adaptation) On a completely different topic I did buy some lovely Alpaca yarn while [...]
