ONE! Fresh off the needles, unblocked, in one of my favourite yarns. Making a matched set, so not only do I need to avoid Second Sock Syndrome, but Third and Fourth, too 😂! #ShowMeYourKnits #Socktober 🧶

The secret of these socks is…they’re Tabi socks 🧦! Adventure Son (sz 13) asked for pair to go w/ lightweight sandals in camp. No way to photograph that they don’t look Cursed™️ but exactly what he wanted. They’re off to weeklong cycling adventure in Turkey (socks & boy). #ShowMeYourKnits #Socktober 🧶
Pair of light grey handknit ankle socks with purple ribbed cuff and separate big toe pockets. Pair of grey handknit tabi socks on a pair of feet in lightweight strappy sandals. They’ve got seperate toe pockets to accomodate the sandal strap. Purple cuffs match the purple straps of the sandals.

🐸 FROGGED 🐸! Exactly one year later apparently… Seward Socks; I’ve lost interest, confusion abt needle size in pattern, don’t love heel. They were a great learning experience for colourwork (and did go over my heel!) but I have not felt compelled to pick them up again. #ShowMeYourKnits #Socktober 🧶
Leg and heel of a partially knit sock. It has a green and pink colourwork pattern against a light grey background. Green ribbed cuff, pink short row heel. The sock has been unravelled and is now seven balls of yarn, in varying sizes.

OK, well, this is embarrassing 😬… (for context, was doing this while having AM coffee, which means I hadn’t had my coffee). 3.00 mm needles are ALSO US size 2.5… Both of these are printed on my needles in *very tiny* font. Anyway, found my 3s, lace sweater is fine. As you were.

Liv Ross @livrunsfast.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
OK, wait, it gets worse 😒. Not only can I not find my 3.0mm needles, the project I tried to steal them from is *supposed* to be in 3.0mm! Are you telling me I’ve knit 25 320-st rounds of LACE in the wrong needles??? Pattern says 3.0mm, own notes say 3.0mm, but needles very clearly say 2.5mm. FML 🤦🏻‍♀️

I know I have too many things on the needles but I just went to a project to steal the needle tips I need for another project and it turns out those aren’t the needles I need and those needles must be in another project but I don’t know what or where?

Thanks, folks for the input! There are two mistakes, but only one of them was mine! It is sorted, although I do need to decide what kind of neck to make… (I also chose this pattern b/c I loved someone’s I’d seen - and they had made a modification). This is why I’ve come here first 🤪

Sanity check: cast on neckline, knit flat, from well-known designer Even # stitches, 1x1 rib (RS) K2, (p1, k1) to last 2 st, K2 (WS) P2, (k1, p1) to last 2 st, P2 This is wrong? Even # means RS will have 3 knit stitches at the end (last k1 of the repeat + k2) So WS has to be P2 (p1, K1), right??

One of surest ways for me to stall on a cardigan is…buttons (finding/ choosing/ buying/ sewing). Took opportunity of day in the city to visit favourite button shop, which never disappoints. Like the yarn, they’re sometimes silver, sometimes purple-ish. Modelled on neck band as no button bands yet…
