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.

It looks so good! I love it! You’ve got this 💪🧶💨!!

Gorgeous colour 🩵!

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

Wow, it’s awesome 🤩! Cool shoulder details and excellent fit 👌!

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

Guess who I got to snuggle this weekend 💕?!? Can confirm he is a Very Smol Bean 🥹! Too small right now for these knitted goodies, but it means I can look forward to lots more pics as he grows in to them 🥰.

This one is good timing for me… #ShowMeYourKnits week 56; show me something you’ve knit for a BABY 🍼🐥! 💕Love trying new things on tiny knits…

I’ve been working on this pile for a bit; most recent FO is Maple Baby Overalls in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino 🧶. And it’s a good thing, b/c that baby is here 🎉!
A hand knit baby one-piece jumpsuit in a bluish teal colour with matching buttons. Three hand knit baby items pinned to a brown wooden fence. A teal gradient cardigan with a grey yoke that has teal flutter stitches, a blue one-piece play suit in stockinette, and a green cardigan with two rows of sheep on the yoke.

I did get to deliver these socks to bestie in person. But even I didn’t make her try them on to get a pic in the middle of a busy pub…only extracted a promise for picture later. Perfect fit 👌! #ShowMeYourKnits #Socktober 🧶🧦

A request from @annekosseffjones.bsky.social for a beanie pattern led me to modify a “stock” beanie pattern of mine to fit the bill. It is designed for fingering/sport-weight yarn; cotton and wool have both been tested. Interested in test knitting? DM me an email! #knitsky #knitting #abolishICE 🧶
First page of a knitting pattern that reads: “Abolish ICE”.

Oh yay! Hope to see it here - that will be such a lovely hat! It’s my first time to use it and it’s just so woolly and squishy!

Final annual work meeting in Edinburgh last week, so took weekend to visit some loved places, including favourite yarn shop, Ginger Twist Studio 🩵🧶. Been working my way through her delicious bases & picked up this Masham Mayhem 4-ply; so woolly & soft 🐑! Will be some kind of colourwork yoke sweater…
Three unwound skeins of burgundy / raspberry-ish yarn and one skein of light blue yarn.

Oooh, I have that one on the list. Do you like the heel?
livrunsfast.bsky.social
Look forward to it 👀
livrunsfast.bsky.social
Oooh, gorgeous 😍! It turned out beautifully!
livrunsfast.bsky.social
Another one? 🤩 Lovely colours! Is the first one done, then?
livrunsfast.bsky.social
Colourwork sweaters are amazing, too! I’m just really getting in to them now, and have at least three on the list!!
Also, there will be a SMYK prompt for that, too…😏

I definitely go through cycles - sometimes it’s all I knit, sometimes I need a break!

They are fiddly! This is only my second pair (although both had >/= 3 colours) and I feel like I’m juggling & wrestling 😵‍💫

#Socktober weekend progress 🧶🧦. Knit a bit looser as they are meant to be boot socks - and have confirmed it goes over an ankle. Phew 😮‍💨! #ShowMeYourKnits
Cuff and leg of a colourwork hand knit sock in green, light grey, and dusty pink. The unknit balls of wool are beside it.

I’ve had them on the list for a while; looking forward to them!

I know what you mean! Saw great idea from @scoutj.bsky.social - she puts sweater in small bag w/ just working arm out. You still have to turn it, but it’s smaller & contained. Also, when it has some length, you can knit, turn it, knit the other ndl & turn it back, instead of going in same direction
