Had this #sock on my needles for a minute so I decided to finish #knitting it off. Now I just have to do its mate.

It’s hard to see in the pics, but I bought a hank of Madelinetosh sock yarn from Simply Socks because I’d heard good things about it, and the dye is coming off on my hands.

I’ve never had that happen before with any yarn, either mass produced or from indie dyers 🥴🧶🧦

As someone who has knit #socks with DPNs, magic loop, and tiny circs, I decided to give Addi FlexiFlips a try in the interest of science.

After #knitting 15 rounds of K2P2 ribbing and an inch of stockinette, I can officially say they’re definitely not my favorite 😂 🧶 🧦

This was the first #sock I ever finished #knitting. Four years ago today. I believe it was Patons Kroy yarn. Happy Sockiversary to me 😁🧶🧦

My wife gifted me this beautiful #sock set today as an early Xmas present, which is perfect timing considering I just finished #knitting a pair last night. Now I have something new to work on this weekend 😁🧶🧦

My wife wanted a pair of #socks based around one of her favorite anime characters, but didn’t want white to be the dominate color, so I came up with this design and #knit one. Glad she likes it.

Now to do the other one. 🧶🧦

My Brain: You should probably be #knitting baby stuff or blankets or socks for Christmas.

Me: I think I’ll knit another sweater 😂

Started this Friday night using Drops Nepal. Nothing fancy. Just a workhorse sweater that’ll last.
