Green Static Socks progress (5)

In the interest of full transparency, here is my weekly update on my socks. As you can see, there's not a lot of new progress here. Sometimes a project just doesn't get as much love, and that's ok. My office day didn't leave me with a lot of knitting time, as usual, and I prefer...

Green Static Socks progress (4)

Here's another weekly update on these socks. As usual I just got a few rounds done while I was in the office one day. This week was particularly hectic so there wasn't much time to knit. I love my new house and the very short commute that I have now, but looking at these socks...

Green Static Socks progress (3)

I managed to get a few rows done while I was in the office this week. Once I am finished with my cardigan I might put some time in on these, at least enough to get past the heels. I really like the way this yarn knits up. There is always something changing which keeps...

Green Static Socks progress (2)

Here's my sock progress for the week. I did work on them a tiny bit outside of the office, mostly because my in-office day was too busy to get much knitting done. They will still take a while but I want to get in more than just a couple of rows per week.

I finished the cuffs and got a few rounds of the leg done. I decided to go with a 3x1 rib for the leg. That keeps the knitting relatively simple while still adding a little bit of interest. The ribbing also makes for a nice fit in the finished socks. I am trying to make...

Green Static Socks started

These are a few days old, but I am just getting around to sharing them. I had to go back into the office this week for the first time since before the holidays. Going into the office means I need some simple, portable office knitting, so I started a pair of socks. My intention for...

Scrappy Xmas Shorties finished!

All of the ends have finally been tamed! I really love how these turned out. The fun stripes make all the effort worth it. I already have a pair of xmas shorties that use some of the same yarn, but these make me extra happy because they finished off some scraps that I couldn't bear...

Scrappy Xmas Shorties progress (3)

These went incredibly quickly! I have finished all of the knitting. I decided not to do the whole toe in red, and instead just did a stripe. I think it still looks good without overwhelming anything. Now I just need to graft the toes and then weave in the very large number of ends. Hopefully...

Scrappy Xmas Shorties progress (2)

Here's my latest progress on my scrappy holiday shorties. These have been my go-to knitting for a couple days. Now I am already most of the way through the foot. In fact I am almost out of the mini skein remnants that I set aside for this project. I was originally planning to use more...

Scrappy Xmas Shorties progress

I have been spending a good amount of time working on these scrappy shorties and am making lots of progress. I've already used up a couple different scraps, which is always nice. Although, I will probably be kicking myself for using so many small bits when it comes time to weave in all of these...

Scrappy Xmas Shorties started!

Well it is December and I've already started a little festive project for myself. These are going to be extra scrappy shorties. I'm using up some self-striping yarn, plus bits and pieces of a mini skein set, and other various leftovers. They won't match exactly but they will definitely channel the holiday spirit. You can...

Scrappy Seattle Shorties finished!

I managed to get these off the needles just in time for a November finish! Part of me wishes I had taken the time to alternate the blue yarn with the variegated for the foot, but I am still happy with this result. I am definitely glad to use that Knit Picks yarn for the...
