socks

FO Fridays: Gladys

by Athena // June 12, 2020 // 1 Comment
Socks are a good projects. Very straightforward and useful results. I have enough sock yarn stash for more than half a dozen pairs of socks. Even though I’ve stopped making my Barn Raising Quilt, I need to keep using sock... Continue reading →

FO: Eternal Spring Socks

by Athena // June 21, 2018 // No Comments
I am knitting a lot of socks lately and will continue too. I do have a lot of great sock yarn including this one that I one from a Ravelry group in 2013. The tweed and yellow colour is sweet.... Continue reading →

FO: Snow Queen Sock – 2/6 2018

by Athena // March 27, 2018 // No Comments
My second finished project of the year! This was suppose to be my 2018 Winter Olympics knitting project but I don’t think I can knit a pair of socks in two weeks like I use to back in 2010. It... Continue reading →

FO: First Man Socks

by Athena // January 19, 2018 // No Comments
Having knit almost 30 pairs of socks in the last ten years, I had never actually knit a pair of socks for a man. My father didn’t really want a pair and his wearing of the knit hat has been... Continue reading →

FO: Vanilla Latte Socks

by Athena // September 10, 2017 // 4 Comments
These were birthday socks for a best friend. One of the only people I knit for. She received a pair of Thuja about seven years ago and requested socks again last year for Christmas. Originally, I started this project January... Continue reading →

FO Friday: Katsura

by Athena // September 11, 2015 // No Comments
These socks took me eight months to finish and then I delayed photographing them for another three months. All in all, it took me about a year to get this post up. I am not knitting as much as I... Continue reading →

FO Fridays: Child’s First Sock in Shell Pattern

by Athena // August 30, 2013 // 6 Comments
Nothing like an easy peasy pair of lace socks to get me through summer. I worked on most of this in August. This is at least better than the Girasole blanket of last year. I’m starting to become one of... Continue reading →

FO Fridays: Vertizags

by Athena // March 1, 2013 // 2 Comments
These were my first pair of socks in 14 months. I have a lot of handknit socks. I can churn a pair of my own socks in 2-3 weeks while working since I knit them two at time. I have... Continue reading →

Vinland

by Athena // September 5, 2008 // No Comments
As much as I like toe-up sock patterns, this pattern bored me quite early on. The pattern is well written and charted though especially since it is designed for people for small and wide feet making it versatile. Sadly, I... Continue reading →

Highland Schottische Kilt Hose

by Athena // August 18, 2008 // 3 Comments
This pattern has often been paired with Regia Silk, and I would not have used the yarn in particular if it was not on sale; it is nice and soft. This is my first Nancy Bush pattern, and while it... Continue reading →

Anastasia Socks

by Athena // July 2, 2008 // 1 Comment
My first toe-up socks. Originally I started toe-up Jaywalkers but I ran into problems so I decided to just do those another day top-down. I like toe-up socks because you can try them on. This is a very easy pattern to... Continue reading →
