The 2020 Cozy Knitter Advent Socks are complete!

Pattern: My own 68 stitch toe up vanilla sock with an afterthought heel “recipe”

Needles: US 1s

Yarn: The Cozy Knitter Bliss Sock in the 2020 advent stripe

As they are customized to my feet, these socks fit very nicely. They weigh 78 grams so that maths out to roughly 278 yards of yarn. Exactly half of the advent skein is used up and about 20 grams of the contrast color. They need a good bath to even out my stitches.

Now I am out to cast on get cooking on my 2021 advent socks to complete the history. If I can get these done this month then I will be ready when the 2026 advent shows up and starts December 1st!

Happy Knitting!!

The Second 2020 Tube

Okay, did I work on the Coorie In Poncho? No. But did I knit my fingers off this weekend? Yes.

I almost completely powered through the second 2020 Advent sock tube. I just can’t get past these colors. They are just so perfect for this time of year. I also may have found some fall beers to compliment my knitting. And I got this cheeky new cozy at a finance conference.

Duke does wish there was more snuggling and scratches than knitting. Happy Fall!!

A 2020 Advent Tube

Happy Halloween! I am going into this Friday with a finished 2020 sock tube. These striped fairly fell off my needles this week!!

I stuck with the typical plan of finishing the cuff in the self striping yarn instead of the contrast yarn. I have gobs plenty of the contrast but I am thinking of getting the second half of each of these skeins cranked into sock snakes. And I will need contrast for the heels/toes/cuffs for those.

Now I need to go get ready for trick or treating! Have a safe and happy holiday for those that celebrate!

Cast On: 2020 Advent Socks

I only have two The Cozy Knitter previous year’s advent skeins left: 2020 and 2021. I just finished the 2019 socks and so I am casting on the 2020 version.

Ever the original knitter, these are my go to 68 stitch toe up afterthought heel “recipe” for a sock that fits my feet. Normally I would be casting on both socks at once but this time I just wanted to keep cruising and couldn’t be bothered to start a second toe.

I am REALLY liking this 2020 skein the colors are very saturated and darker than normal. These just feel autumnal and cozy. And the yarn base continues to be exceptional. These are some of my most worn socks.

Happy Knitting!!

KirbyWirby Sock Club #2

My second month of the KirbyWirby 2026 sock club is here. October is looking very Halloween-esque.

She called this one Autumnween and the mini is Candy Bandit. I chose her basic sock yarn that is 75/25 and makes such lovely socks. I am still trying to work through my backlog of Cozy Knitter advent sock as I just started the 2020 stripes. But this is a lovely addition to my stash!

Happy Stashing!!

Having just finished my 2019 Advent socks, I have wound up the yarn for the 2020 version. The colors are very different in this particular year.

I still plan to do my basic 68 stitch vanilla toe up sock with an afterthought heel. I just need some knitting where I can autopilot. I will do the normal white toes and white heels. I haven’t decided how I will work the cuffs. I could mix it up and do the white?

Happy Knitting!!

The 2019 Cozy Knitter Advent Socks are done and dusted!!

Pattern: My own 68 stitch toe up vanilla sock “recipe”

Needles: US 1s

Yarn: Cozy Knitter Advent Striping Sock Yarn – 2019 advent color

The finished socks weighed out to half the advent skein and 20 grams of the contrast white mini skein. I racked up 275 yards in this finished project. I am not sure this set of stripes is my most favorite from the Cozy Knitter. But they make wonderful socks for cold winter days.

Now I need to dig up the 2020 advent skein and start on the next pair! Happy Knitting!!

2019 Heels

My 2019 Cozy Knitter Advent Socks are ready for heels to be added!

This is where I left off last night all cuddled up in my PJs. I decided that right before bed was not the time to do a ton of counting and working tiny stitches. I have spent the past few nights listening to my Miss Marple audio book and trying to power through these sock stripes. And it worked! I finished all 24 advent stripes.

I have wound up the remainder of the advent skein to use for later. I am still considering sending the second halves of many of my advent skeins to be made into sock snakes. That way I can just knit in heels, toes and cuffs much faster. But for now, I need to work on heels so I can score some more KAL points!

Happy Knitting!!

Socks And Cupcakes

Hello from the indoor trampoline park! The 2019 Cozy Knitter Advent Socks are getting some love while I watch cupcakes being inhaled.

I am just trying to work these in tandem and keep the socks even. No other reason than it makes my brain happy. I may need to put the yarn tails on the inside as they tickle my hands when I am knitting.

It has been a delightful afternoon listening to my audio book, watching Jellybean and his friends and make neat little stitches on this sock.

Happy Knitting!!
