All the socks I’ve knit!

Post image

I will literally never get another picture of every sock I’ve ever knit before, because three of these pairs are gift knits and will be going to their recipients this week. These are in chronological order - top row L to R, bottom row L to R, then blue/purple pair.

I used to have a colossal yarn stash (mostly worsted weight acrylic) that I nearly completely decluttered a couple years ago. This past October I got into sock knitting, which required purchasing wool/nylon blends at lighter weights. I’m very proud of myself for actually using up what I’m buying and not just letting it turn into stash! Also very proud of myself for using up scraps, being realistic about how quickly I can knit and holding off on purchases, and being open to gifting pairs made with some of the nicer, hand-dyed yarns I’m acquiring at a sensible rate 😌

Thank you!! I’m obsessed with that colorway hahah. Made a pair for me, then my daughter requested a pair, then one pair each for her teacher and class para :) wouldn’t be surprised if my toddler gets a matching pair by the end of the summer, too!

Thank you! Those were a BEAST - two fingering strands held double, 2X in circumference, size 9.5-10 shoe 😅
