We spent last weekend with Jelkybean’s grandparents do he got lots and lots of snuggles. And in between feedings I got some knitting time!
Because little ones require so much “stuff” when you travel I needed a small portable project. I pulled out my Vanilla Socks from my #sockswithsarah KAL project. Before Jellybean’s arrival I managed to complete the foot and the gusset on both socks. But I hadn’t turned the heel. Well now I have!
I knit my socks inside out but I turned one right side out to show you the stripes. I hadn’t worked on this project in sooo long that I had to go back and redo my pattern math, lol. I’m making the sock four stitches bigger than the largest size in the pattern.
I’m pretty in love with them! Now I just have the legs and cuffs to complete. Just a few stitches here and there right now. But they are growing!
Happy Knitting!

Love the stripes.
Thanks!
You knit toe up socks, I knit my socks starting with the cuff, I have been meaning to try your way soon 🙂
I have big feet (size 10 1/2 after pregnancy) so I do toe up so that I know I wont run out of yarn, lol
Great socks! I have to ask your reasoning on knitting them inside out? Did I miss out on some huge knitting tip??? Lol 🙂
I knit across two dpn needles in a psuedo magic loop method. And I have very long fingers which cramp knitting with such small needles. So by knitting them inside out and the working yarn on the back needle it creates a more comfortable position for my hands. Its no trick, just what works for me!
Really! That’s interesting I’ve never tried the magic loop method but I have had a lot of issues with cramped fingers. Something to think about for sure.
How come you knit the socks inside out? Why so big a size for sock?
Happy knitting to you as well. Great socks, stunning colours. 😉
Very interesting that you knit your socks inside out! I may have to try that. 🙂
They look awesome! Congratulations 🙂
Love the color! Never made socks before. Are you using circular needles or 4 double pointed needles?
I’m usinf both actually. I use the dpns for the toe/heel/gusset and then an 8 inch circular foe the foot and leg!
Aha! I thought it looked like one on one sock and another in the next picture! Mystery solved
