I don't know what it is with me right now but I really want to cast on all the things. I've barely started my alpaca shorties but I got it in my head to make a new pair to use up the scraps from my Brioche Adventure. I was wracking my brain trying to figure... Continue Reading →
I picked up this alpaca/wool/nylon blend yarn at a fiber festival this past fall and I've been dying to cast on a pair of shorty socks with it. Now that the weather is properly winter cold I could definitely use the extra warmth from the alpaca on my toes at night. This set was a... Continue Reading →
I started this pair of shorties in August and finished them in early November. Having tiny feet means that one skein of yarn equals two full pairs of socks if I use contrasting heels/toes/cuffs, or one full pair and one shorty pair. I have even more leftover yarn now, because I've changed up my sock... Continue Reading →
I started these in June when I finished my Rainbows for Marvin socks, and then didn't finish them until August. My knitting mojo definitely took a huge hit this summer. For some reason it hit me harder than in previous years, and it was difficult to get much done at all for a couple months.... Continue Reading →
I managed to get these bound off before the end of the month! It was nice to get a pair of socks done in under a month for a change, even if they are just shorties. I really enjoy the colors in these stripes, and I'm happy with how I managed to pair the extra... Continue Reading →
Can you tell I spent a bunch of time knitting on these over the long weekend? I finished the foot and have also finished one heel already. One ball of my Felici was smaller than the other, so I am supplementing with a leftover mini that I had in stash. There should be enough of... Continue Reading →
I got a little knitting done this weekend. Self striping socks are always good because I can stay motivated to finish a stripe and usually want to get started on the next one. It helps that I really like the colors in this pair. I still probably have at least 3 or 4 more stripes... Continue Reading →
I have done a little bit of knitting on these socks over the past few days. I'll admit that my crafting mojo is low at the moment. As soon as the weather got hot my brain decided that I don't want to make warm fuzzy knits, but I am still enjoying the process once I... Continue Reading →
I still haven't quite finished my neon rainbow socks, but I started these anyway. I wanted something I could take into work with me and not worry about finishing while I was there. Then I ended up not actually knitting on them at all! These will have to chill out for a couple more days... Continue Reading →
All of the ends have finally been tamed! I really love how these turned out. The fun stripes make all the effort worth it. I already have a pair of xmas shorties that use some of the same yarn, but these make me extra happy because they finished off some scraps that I couldn't bear... Continue Reading →
These went incredibly quickly! I have finished all of the knitting. I decided not to do the whole toe in red, and instead just did a stripe. I think it still looks good without overwhelming anything. Now I just need to graft the toes and then weave in the very large number of ends. Hopefully... Continue Reading →
Here's my latest progress on my scrappy holiday shorties. These have been my go-to knitting for a couple days. Now I am already most of the way through the foot. In fact I am almost out of the mini skein remnants that I set aside for this project. I was originally planning to use more... Continue Reading →
