Made my 2nd set of socks as a gift for a friend. I based them on the Crazy Sock Lady “How to knit socks on magic loop” video tutorial, but using a k3p1 pattern and a jersey stitch heel instead of slip stitch.
This is my first time using self-striping yarn and it’s so fun! I loved seeing the design come to life as I knit :)

They look great!!
Thank you! <3
You have no idea how happy it makes me to see you doing more socks already :D
Lucky friend!! These look like a great pair of socks. I like the yarn striping.
I mean this in the best possible way, the socks make me want a hamburger
The Sunflowers are one of my favorite of Vincent’s paintings but they didn’t translate too well into yarn xD Bummer because I got THREE skeins of it (in my defense, it was a sale). I’m thinking about what to do with the other skeins, maybe incorporate them into a fair isle sweater (one of my to do projects for 2024).
Nice, wish I was your friend.
I hope the Universe brings a knitter into your life to give you many unrequested knit items. I have way more yarn and time than body to wear all the knitted stuff I make/want to make.
