Airport knitting. Needles and a bit of yarn are often conversation starters. ๐งถ

These socks are made of leftovers from at least five other projects. Little balls. Helical knitting with a spiral rib. #showmeyourknits #knitting #menwhoknit

While everyone else, still knitting in #sockmadness, has moved on to the next sock, Iโve finally finished one of the Day and Night socks from the last round. Knitting at a much more sedate pace, Iโm on to the next one.

#sockmadness is going to be done for me. This weekโs schedule,and last weekโs just arenโt giving me enough hours, and Iโve made too many errors, pulled out stitches, tried again. There is still an error that the judges may judge to be fatal. So, Iโll finish these socks less intensely and maybe 2026.

Iโve qualified for #sockmadness ! To join the competition, the qualifying socks need to be made, and approved, in less than two weeks. I started these 11 days ago. Theyโre called Conjoined Sock Twins and were designed by Katherine Richmond.

At the end of day 10 of this qualifying sock for #sockmadness Just the toe to go and then the two socks are separated. This picture is required by the competition to prove that the two socks were knitted as one.

Day 7 of this knit has me almost through the cables. Iโve got a week to finish the socks to qualify for #sockmadness Certainly doable now. The two socks are knit together and cut apart as the last step. One is toe up and the other top downโฆ #showmeyourknits #knitting #guyswhoknit #sockknitting

I found the pattern maybe just a little bit too wordy.
