Red Socks!

If you read my past post I was complaining about my neck and how I messed up while attempting to knit socks.  In my case I guess it is "pain no gain!"

Oh well, the neck is much better so I restarted the red socks, one down and one to go!

Knitting Socks On A Standard Machine - I Gotta Thing For Socks, Red Ones Too!

I have a sock mania.  Not just any old sock but squishy comfortable socks.  The below machine knit socks in a hand dyed wool/nylon blend are just that.

Warm, Red Squishy Machine Knit Socks


The only socks I wear at home are the ones that come off of my machine.  Haven't tried them yet?  They are so easy once you do it a few times; a pair can be off the machine in about 40 minutes (without rushing).

Now to graft the toes...

Knitted Slipper Socks - Warm & Comfortable!

I made these slipper socks not too long ago.  The idea came to me after knitting many of my own socks (having made adjustments to the original pattern).

One day I thought, winter is coming and most of my home is tile which stays very cool; I wanted something warm to slip on over my socks.

I converted the math and tension from the standard to the bulky and knitted these in a worsted weight yarn.  Then, I added about 50 circular rows to the cuff and made a "hunters style" warm, thick sock.  The longer version is great on a chilly day!
