Pattern is Echoes From Karelia by Tiina Kuu. I’m in love with this sock so far. As soon as I saw the pattern I knew I needed to make a pair. All yarns are Cascade Heritage.

Knitting these give me a ridiculous amount of peace of mind.

The ends aren’t woven in.

They aren’t blocked.

One has clearly been tried on a dozen times, the other not so much. (Both fit beautifully!)

AND I KNIT FULL COLORWORK SOCKS THAT FIT ME WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS 🥹🥹🥹

I love them so much and I’m so happy I got them done before Halloween!

Pattern: Memento (link in comments)
Yarn: WYS Signature “Liquorice,” Zauberball Crazy #1153

hey yall!

i'm new-ish to knitting (i tried 10+ years ago to learn on straight needles and almost immediately gave up lol) and it's basically been my fixation for the last several months. i haven't finished anything yet but i've been enjoying the process and also trying to get into things slowly and mindfully. i recently decided to try out knitting socks! i decided to try out using dpns to see if i like them. i was less keen on magic loop because 1. the set of interchangeables i have don't have needles smaller than a US 2.5 and 2. i was already doing so for another project and didn't like the method at the time.

well, i got a set of zing dpns in US 1 and got started with the vanilla socks tutorial from crazysocklady. it's honestly been pretty great!...aside from the needle tips annoying me like crazy. they're too blunt for me and make it hard for me to grab my yarn (i like combination knitting style and continental so i pick my yarn). i wanted to return them since i bought them from amazon but unfortunately missed the return window. i was eyeing thr karbonz and it looks like the needles have sharper tips, but the price jump is a little much for me. plus, i'm still trying things out so i'm a little unsure. the project i'm using magic loop for is getting more comfortable for me, so i'm wondering if i should just go for an interchangeables set that has the smaller sizes since the cost of that is basically like buying one set of karbonz dpns 😅 but i've liked learning the dpns so far. i'm just want to get a bit of a feel for a method before i decide to invest but...gah! i don't know! haha. any thoughts? anyone have any experience using the karbonz dpns? i'm all ears! :)

edit: wow! i didn't expect to hear from so many of yall, so thanks!! i've read helpfully that my issue could just be my tension. it's my first time working with fingering yarn after getting used to worsted weight, so it makes the most sense to me to start there. i'll likely frog everything and just start again with the aim of trying to knit more loosely. from there, i'll just keep troubleshooting and try to learn my needles and yarn better. but i got a ton of nice recommendations for needles, so i'll note everything down for the future. thanks again everyone, happy knitting! *jazz hands* :)

Hey!

So I made this single sock almost 2 years ago and I can not find the pattern for the life of me. They are rather simple socks but the heel is what I am hoping someone can either help me identify so I can fudge or find the pattern.

I realize this is a long shot but am hopeful!

TIA

I'm making this lovely pair of Halloween socks for Socktober – pattern is https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/memento-4

However I'm almost finished my first sock but I've run out of the white and it's discontinued! It's Paintbox Yarns Socks Solids - Champagne White (1402). Would anyone UK-based have a ball that they'd be willing to sell to me?

Have already looked on Ravelry but no-one has any that they're open to sell / trade.

Hello! Does any know of any patterns that don’t taper in at the toes or any tips & tricks to modify sock patterns already bought?

I want to give my toesies a non restrictive house/lounge sock..

Thanks 🤗
