Started my second pair of #ooeygooeysocks , this time toe-up ☺️. I am trying to get better at knitting socks toe-up. I still need to practice a lot…

A 2x2 rib hand knitted pair of socks in a blue gradient yarn, laying flat on a brown wooden surface. The left over bit of the yarn I used lays beside the pair of socks on the upper right.

Sometimes it just pays off if you cast on a ton. You get to cast off a lot almost at the same time 🀭🀭.

Next pair of 🧦 for my 😍.

Simple 2x2 rib socks.

Cast on of a 2x2 rib sock in blue, laying on a wooden board. Beside the sock there’s a notions box holding some of my progress keepers and stitch markers I collected over time. On top of the notion box cover are some stitch markers made from yarn scraps. I like these, because I often think other markers are not blending in as good as these scraps in between stitches and are spreading out my stitches around said markers a bit more. Just a preference sometimes.

Cast on. Or should I say heel turn? 🀭. Rib socks are always flying off my needles. This time I turned the sock inside out after the heel flap and knit from there.
I will turn it back to the right side (the purl stitches on the sole will be the visible sole stitches).

Nope, I didn’t. Knitting socks is just a REALLY big thing for me and I like to play around and try out things. ☺️. There’s a lot of trial and error along the way though… But I am sure there are patterns with gussets for short-row heels ☺️.

Plain vanilla socks with a short row gusset heel, laying on a white wooden background. They were knitted with a super colorful yarn. Colors are self-fading from purple to a light muddy khaki green to a sunset orange and ending at / with a mix of magenta-violet at the toes.

Short row heels with a gusset are (finally) my thing.
I really dislike the β€˜regular’ ones 🀭🀭🀭.

Hi, thank you. There’s no pattern to this. It’s just a simple knit and purl combination I made up on my lunch break 🀣🀭🀭🀭.

Laying on an old white painted wooden board my almost finished first pair of socks for this year. 

I used a limited color called β€šRauhnacht’ by Schwedenrot Yarns, which I would describe as a variegated yarn with a moody, almost taupe (or taupe-ish) oldrose-purple main tone with lots of colorful speckles. 

The pattern is mine and just a simple knit and purl combination, because sometimes the simplest things are the best. ☺️

I used @schwedenrot-yarns.bsky.social limited edition color β€˜Rauhnacht’ on her Soft Sock base and a wee contrast for the first few rounds of the cuff from stash. 🧢

Pictured here are my christmas socks. The pattern is called Woodland Socks and the motifs are different sized and shaped Christmas trees and a small house in the woods. The colors I have chosen are red and a creamy white. 

The pair of socks are laying on a wooden board, decorated with a few tree branches, a few pine cones and some pine cone shaped christmas baubles.

I am so glad I managed to complete these in time 😍! πŸŽ„ 🀢🏽 πŸŽ…πŸ½ πŸŽ„ .

The pattern is from Sangmi Lee on ravelry #woodlandsocks . Originally should be knitted toe-up, but I changed it to my preferred method and knitted them top-down.

A pair of hand knitted socks for my husband I completed recently. They are laying flat on a wooden board. The colors are a really dark grey as main color and a cloudy, moody , but lighter blueish grey as contrast color. The motif in the pattern I used is called Iceflower.

Bird view picture of the wreath I made for this year’s advent season sitting on my table. It’s the first advent here in Germany, and I am celebrating with my wreath and a new cast on sock. 
The color of the wreath is a deep forest green, decorated with a small house, some wooden stars, natural pinecones and rusty trees, aswell as some Christmas baubles and of course a Christmas train πŸš‚ carrying all the presents.

The colors of the sock are moss green as main color and a speckled, very light yellow-orangey contrast color.
