The sock sequel
![Frankenstein cardigan(31).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZpVaxAJdUY1mm8gHGDVdkbBrStxnHWATgDqKgVaQFwhf/Frankenstein%20cardigan(31).png)
<br>
Remember my grandiose Christmas present idea – the handknitted socks for my husband. I finished them. Really. All adverse conditions notwithstanding, e.g. me never having knitted a sock before, only having a week left to finish the socks, me knitting in combination style so nobody near me could help etc. I felt like a hero …
for about 5 minutes. After this I remembered that I must sew in the ends and I had a closer look at my socks. Oh dear (or better oh reindeer!) I made so many mistakes. Thankfully, I used a yarn in varying grey shades, so the mistakes are not too visible (in the dark or with closed eyes). But nevertheless, the socks were a hit. I finished one and a half for Christmas with a promise to get them done very soon. The fit is perfect (or the socks simply very stretchy :-D) and so I am happy with this adventure. So happy that I casted on a new pair. <br>

<br>
For my husband’s socks I knitted the whole leg in a ribbing pattern of k3, p2. The heel I knitted in a slip stitch pattern to make it more resilient and the feet is in stockinette. The whole sock is knitted from the cuff down on dpns with a heel made with short rows. For my second pair I have chosen the same method (cuff downwards and on dpns) but as I wanted to make longer socks I knitted a shorter cuff in k2, p2 and then proceeded with stockinette. But I made another more noteworthy change: I used hand dyed yarn. In pink and brown – YEEEES! <br>

<br>
Some time ago I dyed this one pink skein and loved it so much, that I never used it (do you know this effect? Liking something and wanting to spare it for something special?). And on the other hand, I had overdyed some ugly yellow coloured skeins with brown shades which were not so much nicer after the dyeing then before. This brown yarn was sleeping unloved in a box. As you perhaps have noticed the photo above you already know what I did: I combined them and I am currently knitting brown pink striped long socks. And I love the combination of colors. The brown no longer appears boring and the pink has its perfect special occasion I waited for: the first socks I knit for myself.<br>

<br>
__As an afterthought – needles for sock knitting__ <br>
I remember that here are some very experienced knitters and some who are wanting to learn to knit socks. One intimidating aspect of sock knitting is the choice of tool. I have made mine very conservative with dpns. And although I am normally a loose knitter this worked fine. I used Addi colibri needles which are made out of metal with a slightly rough surface so that the stitches glide well but also stay on the needles. The needles have two different tips; one is more pointy than the other. The needles are 15 cm long which also worked fine for me. I could not imagine using longer needles, this I think would have ben awkward. <br>

<br>
But there are so many more possibilities. Very common is the magic loop method. I use this method very often to knit sleeves in the round. The big difference for me is, that sleeves have much more stitches and I do not need to constantly pull out the magic loop. For socks with their tiny stitch count I find this method less pleasant than dpns.
As I like Addi needles I also tested out their [craSy Trio](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym8wtjlBKCM). This are three needles with a very short flexible cable part in the middle. They function like normal dpns but because they are not stiff they should work much easier than dpns. I tried them out for sleeves and I think I found them ok. But for me it was no revolution in comparison to dpns. Perhaps it is different when knitting socks with them. 
The last new thing here on the market are small circumference circular needles. The have one longer and one short needle. I only tried them in a shop and could not get the hang of it. I could not position my hands accurately to insert the needles into my stitches with this short cable… but I think I will give it another try someday.
If you have a marvellous technique or tool for sock knitting - please share, so that we all can conquer the world of sock knitting together <3

Whooo Hooo!! Congratulations on your husband’s finished pair of socks! They look really great, especially for your first pair, wow!  

I am loving the pink and brown combo on your socks!  I also love that you are using hand dyed yarn, so cool!

Thanks for the tips on the knitting needles, I am sure you will have plenty more as you continue working with socks.  Yay! 💗

Thank you so much for the compliments! But I have to admit, I can see so maaaaany mistakes I made. But I have also learned a lot and hope the next pair will go more smoothly. My husband is dreaming about another pair of socks with a longer leg. Perhaps I will make some in yellow and brown, as I have more skeins of the brown yarn (I mean the one I used for the pink/brown socks)
Or I use it as an excuse to dye something completly different :-DDD

😍, they look super comfortable and perfect, @neumannsalva !    The knitting needles  look 'interesting' in that the cable seems to short for my understanding but as long as one can knit comfortably...   

I've been knitting a hat for the last couple of days and it's been really uncomfortable dealing with the long cable and pulling stitches to accommodate the knitting...

This tiny circular needle is strange... I still have not tried it at home, only in the shop and I am not sure I had the right grip for it. But a knitting friend of mine loves this kind of needle and I thought I will try it someday.
And with the magic loop method, i am with you.... This constant pulling on the cable disrupts the knitting flow. That’s the reason I mostly knit sleeves (in top-down constructions) or hats flat. But for the socks I could not find a solution how to knit them flat :-DDD

I have actually seen socks knitted flat, @neumannsalva, but the sewing then needs to be really neat so it's not uncomfortable.

Wow! For first socks, they turned out great! I love the yarn you choose and hope that your husband enjoys them!
The brown and pink are going to be a fun pair! Enjoy! I should warn you that socks can be addictive... I have a good friend who makes them constantly.  
The weird curved needles are interesting.  I suspect that I would not use them too often. 
Happy Monday!

Oh no not another yarn related addiction 😆😆 (while writing this I am browsing ravelry for free sock patterns :-D) And with 'curved needle' do you mean the tiny 8 inch circular needle or the pair of three flexible dpns? If you mean the tiny circular one, I am with you... I find it also very strange, but a friend swears it is the best thing ever, so I want to give it a try someday.

The flexible dpns... so weird! I like knitting in the round on my size 2 circular needle. It took some getting used to but worked great for fingerless gloves and wrist warmers when I made them.
I dislike using dpn for the entire sock, a circular needle means that I am not stopping to change out needles constantly. 
Have fun finding a few patterns!

Ooo I love the gradient gray of your husband's socks  :) I don't see no mistakes anywhere, they look like perfect socks to me :)

And your pink and brown mix knit looks very delicious :D

Yes yes!! I have this feeling for so many of my things that I ended up just keeping all of them in a nice box :D

Ooo and I love Addi needles. Although I don't really knit but I bought a whole set of Addi needles just because I like them haha. And of course, they are now kept in a nice box, waiting for something special which I am afraid is not going to come anytime soon :P. Poor needles. Haha.

I thought that Addi needles are very seldom outside of Germany, so they are really special. But maybe reading so many knitting posts will conjure up this special occasion where you can use these needles :-)
And with the mistakes... there is one inside, a big one, and one I do not understand.... I first thought I may have missed a stitch, but the stitch count is correct. But there is this strange piece of yarn inside the first one

Thank you <3 Yarn dyeing is so addictive. But sadly not very cheap as the raw wool is very expensive here. And with the needles... if you ever try them out, I am very curious what you think about them :-)

Congratulations @neumannsalva 👍 My first pair looked the same as yours (only red) and made me so happy to accomplish, it’s a great feeling. Did you use the kitchner stitch to close the toes?

The 8” circular needles can be great for moving quickly down the ankle, but when i tried them, i found it easier to cast on with the dpns and transfer to the circular. ![5FEA4AB7-0E9A-444C-BFC5-4FF9242624CC.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVYkfeqYETQTJavodKebGTQXzeTMXckerRQpVjJsrChAu/5FEA4AB7-0E9A-444C-BFC5-4FF9242624CC.jpeg)
This was my third pair. Keep on knitting!!!  🧶 🧡

Thank youuuuu. So lovely your socks!!!! The colors are so uplifting (and very neat knitting) <3
I closed the socks by sewing the last 8 stitches together, it is called Maschenstich in German... ok, I research while writing and I have read it is kitchner stitch in English :-DDD
But i find my socks too pointy, not sure if i did something wrong or if I schould block them to get a better fit? If I am honest the heel of my new socks looks also a bit strange (too square)

Thank you for showing your progress! Yay!
 I never got around to learning the other heel method, (short row heel) but have a bunch of patterns for it. I also kept wanting to learn to knit toe up so i would be able to keep stitching up the leg around and around. Tee hee. Time just slips away so quickly. 

As long as the socks are comfy and fit well, they’ll be wonderful. I have a pair that turned out one wider than the other. I still wear them around the house because they are super soft. 🧶💗

😍 I love the socks! I wish I know how to knit! I have knitting needles just collecting dust over here but my crochet projects seem to never end. One of these days I am going to learn how to knit a pair of socks like yours. 😄 I hope it would look as lovely as these socks too. 😅 Hehe

Thank you so much for the compliment! But I only learned to knit, as my fingers hurt from crochet... I looooove crochet! And there are so cute crochet patterns for socks, no need to learn to knit (Although I have to admit, that I now love knitting it as much as I loved corchet)

Thank you so much <3 And I also would have never thought of combining this two colours but now I find them very cheery together. But two days ago i made some stupid mistakes with the striped socks and had to unravel ... grrrrrr

Only this morning while having a coffee, for no reason at all, I remembered your pre-Christmas mad rush to finish the socks...
and now I'm reading this, must be telepathy :-)
 
So happy to see your accomplishment,! I'm sure your husband will wear the socks forever :-)

Your pink-brown striped  socks seem to be coming along beautifully, this colour combination is really lovely  :-)   Looking forward to sock sequel 2 !

Thank you!!! We will see if I this will be a perennial hit 😆😆😆 But I sadly have to admit, that i made some stupid mistakes on the striped socks and I had to unravel a big chunk, so they will need a bit more time.
I hope you are well and survived the end of year stress <3

$0.10
Let's it hope it will make to the top ten Hits of your husband's wardrobe :DDD
Oh, those mistakes... I feel your pain, have been in a similar situation myself...
Yea, survived the end/start of year madness and still standing, like most of us :DD
All the best with those socks!
