Thank you for replying, that's a good idea about the mini skeins but yes I think you're right, surely more is better anyway 😁

Thank you for replying, that makes perfect sense!

Silly Billy question but when knitting colourwork socks, do I need to buy full skeins of the accent colours as they'll be carried along with the main colour? #knitting #sockknitting #knitsky Does this even make sense 😅

My third pair of socks are finished, hooray! 🥳 📝 Pattern is Vanilla Socks on Magic Loop by the Crazy Sock Lady 🧶 Yarn is @dyedinthewoolyarns.bsky.social Sock Yarn in 'Glow Sticks' On to the next pair! 🧦 #knitting #knitsky #sockknitting
Image shows a bird's-eye view of a pair of hand knitted socks on a wooden table. They are knitted in a neon yarn in yellow, green, pink and blue. The yarn has self-striped randomly but has pooled the same on each sock (a happy fluke!)

You are clever! I need to learn that technique

I reckon they'd be quite comfy as there's so seams / joins

That's a good idea! Do you have them each on separate needles? Will look it up!

Sorry to have taken so long to see this!! They are called the Baby Tube Socks and are on Ravelry by Hilke Buss / Haalu the Ugly Bunny (I think the latter might be the name of the book they're in?)

My adventures in sock knitting are ongoing, with my third pair of Vanilla Socks 50% complete. This time using Glow Sticks by @dyedinthewoolyarns.bsky.social I feel ready to try another pattern after these, I think. It would be good to learn something new 🧦 #knitting #sockknitting #knitsky
A hand knitted sock laying flat on my blue fabric sofa. The yarn is in random neon stripes of yellow, green, pink and blue. There is lots of different coloured stitch markers still in place along the front of the sock.

Thank you! The twist makes them very stretchy 😁

Hooray they're finished! 🥳 I realise now my first sock in a pair will be the dodgy / froggy one & the second sock will go quickly & relatively smoothly! 📝 Baby Tube Socks by Haalu the Ugly Bunny 🧶 Indie Sleaze sock yarn by @dyedinthewoolyarns.bsky.social #knitting #knitsky #sockknitting
A pair of baby tube socks held up by the cuffs in front of my kitchen wall. They are knitted in a twisted ribbed pattern in hand dyed yarn in green, pink, teal and purple.

This has taken me an embarrassing amount of attempts & 16 bloody days!!! Must have frogged 🐸 3 or 4 times as well has having to put a few lifelines in & rip back due to mistakes. Thought it would be easy!! But anyway, tube socks 🧦 halfway made, one more to go!! #knitting #sockknitting #knitsky

It has done, when you said maybe one foot was bigger it was a funny thought to me that getting a bigger foot would solve the bigger sock problem 😁

Amy J ✨️ @amyknits.bsky.social · 27/03/2025
I haven't noticed one foot is bigger than the other but maybe that's something i can work on? 😂 Will give these a block and see how they look. Thanks for replying 💕

Okkkkk my second pair of socks is finished 🧦 My tension is a bit looser on the second sock (right), because I put it down & picked it up a lot more than the first sock. Not entirely happy but could be worse. Would blocking help? I don't have sock blockers #knitting #knitsky #sockknitting
A pair of hand knitted 'vanilla' striped socks in pastel colours. The second sock is slightly bigger than the first and the stitches are a little bit uneven. The first sock is a bit neater and slightly smaller as a result.

I've heard people mention them but didn't realise how simple they were. Here's the video I watched (not sure if links work on here?) youtu.be/ae7pobnLKGQ?...

I ended up adding an extra stitch to this sock so I tried a decrease but should have known better that it doesn't work like that 😂 So I managed to put a lifeline in & ripped back a few rows. Thankfully didn't lose any stitches. I ❤️ YouTube, a lesson for everything! #knitting #knitsky #sockknitting
A half-knitted sock on circular needles, with a lifeline of scrap yarn threaded through one of the rows A half-knitted sock on circular needles, with some of the rows pulled out and the yarn in a little pile next to the sock ready to be re-wound and re-knit. The scrap yarn lifeline has been removed and the sock is back on the needles. A closer pic of the correct amount of stitches back on the needles.

Could I switch to magic loop for the toe? Haven't tried DPNs yet either!

I will look them up. Thanks for the tip!

Love how this yarn is working up and I feel like my technique has improved since my first pair of socks. I think I'd like to try knitting my next pair with 9" circular needles although the yarn shop lady said they're awkward to hold - any thoughts? #knitting #knitsky
One completed stripey sock and one sock still on the needles, around 1/3 knitted. The yarn is pink, blue, yellow and orange and knits up in irregular stripes.

I finished crocheting an Elise Shawl yesterday so today I've had a go at blocking it. I think I've done it right?? I had to pin it to a couple of towels on the floor as I don't have blocking boards. Fingers crossed pls! #crochet #crocheting #crochetshawl
