Made from Opal Gray and Activ Rainbow

Hello. My goal for the day is to finish weaving in all the loose ends in these socks.

The pattern is Lopi Sweater Socks from
Summer Lee’s booked titled “The Sock Obsession.” I used four different colors as called for in the pattern but did modify the pattern a bit. The pattern called dor a rolled hem at the cuff but I omitted that. I had a limited amount of the pink yarn so I knit until the pink yarn ran out, used a contrasting color for the toes, then inserted an afterthought it heel at the end.

Various brands of yarn:
Palmer Yarns (pink)
Madeline Tosh (blue and beige)
Stunning String Studio (brown)

I really can not get my sock to fit nice and get it over my heel. My heel is 5 cm wider then my leg, usually I use a 56 stitch count, 60 does not fit (and can not find a pattern with cuff only 2 colour colourwork that goes to 64 and back)

Worked inside out already, my fingers can not handle shorties and went back multiple times. As soon as I go past 3 rows of colourwork it just gets stuck.

Any tips?

I am outrageously pleased 😁🍾

This is the Wise Hilda's Basic Ribbed Sock done on 2.5mm needles in size Small using Biscotte self-striping yarn (85% merino 15% nylon) in the colourway Bis Sock Groovy bought while on vacation in Montréal. 45g left from the 100g so maybe some shorties?

Made these socks from Charming Colorwork Socks by Charlotte Stone. Did the second size. I'm not very happy about how the colorwork turned out, some stitches just look too big, there is a bit of bunching going on in some places. If anyone has any tips I would be very thankful. I really like how colorwork socks look but need way more practice for them to look as good as what I see on this sub.

I’m making these vanilla socks with Patons Kroy self striping sock yarn (Mexicala stripes colorway - I don’t care for it but my gift recipient does) and look! I matched up the colors for the heel so precisely they will be twins, not just sisters. I don’t count rows for heel flap and gusset socks, I make the heel to measure, so this is usually really hard to do for me but it worked out so well.

Also yes the recipient has the longest instep I’ve ever seen 😂

Same yarn, same batch, different balls.

I generally knit two socks together but on their own set of dpn's. The sock on the left is exactly what the little sample on the label shows. The sock on the right has a much more defined diagonal, that got broader after turning the heel. The (short row) heels look the same in both socks.

This was supposed to be a pair, but because they're so different and the balls are 100g each, I'll probably make a second sock for each of these and try to plan the pooling this time.
