Slip Stitch Socks

When I finished Clue 2 of the Goff Place Mystery Shawl, I needed a bit of a palette cleanser (shall we say) and I returned to my first love – knitting socks.

The yarn is from Temu – Artknock Cotton Socks Yarn (80% Acrylic and 20% Cotton – I thought there was way more cotton). It’s probably more of a 5 ply.

The pattern

Multiple of 6 (I don’t know why I selected 6, given that my socks normally have 64 stitches)

Round1: *K5, Sl1 pwise* Repeat for the whole round

Round2: Repeat Round 1

Round3: K

Round4: K

Round5:*K2, SL1 pwise, K3* Repeat

Round6: Repeat Round 5

Round7: K

Round:* K

It is a very easy but effective pattern.

I finished another pair of socks. The yarn is from Temu (it is actually quite nice – Opal). I think it’s 5ply or 6ply rather than my normal 4 ply. I cast on 48 stitches instead of 64, but they are quite snug.

A K2P2 rib and then a plain vanilla sock with a heel flap and gusset.

Socks!

After the marathon that was Miss A’s blanket, I finally finished something else – socks!

It’s a plain vanilla sock – cuff down. The yarn is from Louie and Lola – I am not sure how well it will hold up, but it is beautiful.

Heartgyle Socks

I have started knitting the Heartgyle socks from Boost Your Knitting – the intarsia heart is going well, but the getting it to work in the round is not going so well (see below)

You can see where I have been doing the yarn overs and the turn. The instructions do say

You will see that the turn between right side and wrong side creates a small ridge in the work but it is not hugely obvious.

And they have an image and it’s true on their sock it isn’t very obvious. I can see that my later turns are better – more discreet if you like, but now I need to decide if I rip it back and start again. I am leaning towards ripping back.

There are some great tutorials on how to do this on You Tube – here.

I think the method is good it’s just my execution.
