May/June Socks
Posted in Knitting, Sock Knitting on Jun 17th, 2011
I’m sure this is a knitting rite of passage, but I’ve ripped my sock and I’m starting again with something simpler. It’s going to be a plain vanilla sock as described here.

May (and now they must be called June) Socks
Posted in Knitting, miscellaneous, Sock Knitting on Jun 13th, 2011
I’ve been slowly making progress on my May sock – I’ve actually turned the heel and am now working on the foot (it was just too dark to take a photo). I think it was an error to choose this sock pattern. Although, it is easier than my March/April sock , it still requires a [...]
May Sock Progress
Posted in Knitting, Sock Knitting on May 26th, 2011
My May sock is coming together quite quickly (well compared to the March and April sock). The pattern is very easy to remember and as there is no purl stitches it moves along quite quickly.
At Last!
Posted in Knitting, Sock Knitting on May 9th, 2011
I finished my March (and April) socks! Original mention here. I’m happy with how they’ve turned out. I like the fact that the toe decrease it a bit less than usual – I grafted 32 stitches when normally I do 16 stitches, which makes for pointy toes! I would, however, make the leg section a [...]
March, April and Possibly May Sock
Posted in Knitting, Sock Knitting on May 5th, 2011
This is my March sock – first mentioned here – from the above image you can see that one sock is completely finished. With the second sock I’ve turned the heel and I’m decreasing down to the foot. I’ve really struggled with this pattern. In fact I kept having to fudge the pattern after row [...]
February Socks
Posted in Knitting, Sock Knitting, Yarn Stash on Feb 2nd, 2011
February is a short month. I’ve decided to knit a sock with chunky yarn and a short leg! The yarn I’m using is Yoshie (it was left over from my hot water bottle cover). The image above is the tension square. My gauge was 4 stitches/inch. I’ve calculated that I need to cast on 32 [...]

January Sock is Finished
Posted in Knitting, Sock Knitting on Jan 31st, 2011
I finished my January sock. Having a schedule worked well for me. It kept me focussed and I didn’t feel overwhelmed by the amount still to be done because I just had to finish the work set for today rather than the entire sock. This sock has a 2×2 rib cuff, diamond seed pattern leg [...]

I finished my sock! Now I just have to finish the next one …
Working away at my sock
Posted in Knitting, Sock Knitting on Jan 17th, 2011
I haven’t finished my sock. To stick to my deadline I needed to finish it yesterday, but I am about half way through the foot. I found a great you tube clip about how to pick up stitches – I think socks are a great thing on which to practise new techniques – they’re quick [...]
