My Ocean Geek socks are flying!
This is the ultimate in potato chip knitting right now. I literally can’t wait to get to the next stripe. I’ve finished the foot, part of the leg, and installed the (partially) afterthought heel!
The fabric of this sock is turning out to be more loose than my others. I’m not sure this is going to be a hard wearing sock. But it will be gorgeous!
Happy knitting!!

Love how these are turning out
I agree, these are gorgeous! Love the waviness of the stripes.
Love the colors of this yarn.
Thank you
Ocean Geek is basically the best name for a sock pattern. Ever.
Love the pattern and the colors!
Beautiful colours!
Can you explain what you mean by the partial afterthought heel? Do you have a high arch? I’ve been reluctant to try one due to my arch.
I’m afraid I’m just being cheeky. By partial afterthought heel I only mean that I install it before the tube portion of the sock is done. It is truly just a standard 50% afterthought heel. I just want to knit the heel before the top (calf) ribbing so I maximize my yarn use.
Aha! I get it now. It makes sense. Then you don’t risk running out of yarn. Did you use another skein of it for the sock or did you break the yarn to do the heel?
I tempted the knitting gods by working from the outside of the same ball. It wasn’t too tangly.
Kudos to you!
Potato chip knitting…this is my new favorite metaphor. Love it!
I purloined it from the Knitmore Girls podcast
