Happy #SOCKTOBER knitters 🧦🧶! Surely everyone guessed this week’s theme!? #ShowMeYourKnits week 62: show me your SOCKS!

In honour of the occasion, I am ignoring all other socks in progress & starting a fancy pair of colourwork/ cable socks for myself 💅! Seward Socks by Caitlin Hunter in Exmoor Sock
About 1.5 inches of 1x1 ribbed cuff of a hand knit sock in green wool. The unknit balls of green and light grey yarn are next to it, along with an unwound skein of dusty pink yarn.

Can recommend 👍. This is my first and will be a gift, but I’m going to make one for myself too!

I did stretch it out over a long time, for when I needed some stockinette and used it for train knitting and the like. This one’s a gift, but I want one for myself and I think I’ll take the same approach.

I would be there for the yarn & patterns, I guess; sounds good to me! Buying anything?

Update 🧶🧦: started short row heel in pink, prob only my 2nd time to knit this heel & only other one I have done apart from heel flap & gusset. Trying new things…
Still not good at managing colour change in the round, seam doesn’t look great, esp for the 1-row stripes 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🫤 #ShowMeYourKnits #Socktober

Oooh, nice! That’s an amazing pattern…I’m not sure I was thinking quite that elaborate, but now that you mention it…🧐

The second half of the Ginger Twist Studio yarn 🧶 haul from this past weekend. Look 👀 at that green in Yakety Yak 4-ply, one of the few remaining bases I have left to try 💚! Merino/ yak/ silk, I’m imagining a lace/ cable kind of cardi? #knitting

Now’s as good a time as any to learn - and how I learn more knitting things - by failing to read the pattern all the way through 😬. I hear good things about it!

I’ve heard good things about it, just wasn’t expecting it in this pattern. Although this is relatively low-risk item to learn on!

This year’s habit of just picking up & starting patterns w/o reading them all the way thru- then having to learn a new skill on the spot- continues…
The Harris Hood waits for me to learn the Italian bind-off, which will be great to know, but was still a bit of a surprise when I read it… #knitting 🧶

Gorgeous colour 🩵!

I’ve only ever made one, and it required so many restarts 😵‍💫

Good luck; hope to see them here! I’m always surprised when a wearable sock comes out of what seems like a bonkers process!
