Got my copy of The Sock Obsession today. Thereβs so many great sock #knitting patterns in here. Itβs going to be hard to pick just one to begin with ππ§Άπ§¦
Thanks! I started crocheting first for about 9 months before I taught myself to knit using YouTube videos. Youβll get there when youβre ready π
Just finished #knitting this pair of socks for myself. I believe itβs my third set of the year π
Yarn is Sockenwolle from Hobbi π§Άπ§¦
Finished #knitting a sock for my wife this weekend. Now finishing off another pair for myself before I go back and knit her other one ππ§Άπ§¦
The β90s was a decade of experimentation on TV, and perhaps no other show proved that more than Steven Bochcoβs bizarre series that blended all the drama of a police procedural with a Broadway musical.
Come with me as I explore the forgotten 1990 show, Cop Rock πΊ

Had this #sock on my needles for a minute so I decided to finish #knitting it off. Now I just have to do its mate.

No, thatβs wasnβt the one. It was right on the corner of the street across from a Starbucks π
Danforth & Jones was the location.
Amazing! Small world, eh? Man, there used to be a great little burrito place right by BB that I still think about to this day π
Very cool! I was a Blockbuster guy for the longest time. Worked on the Danforth, the Beaches, and Bathurst & Lawrence locations.
It really was. There was a great used bookstore there called BMV (Books Music Videos) that I still miss to this day π
Toronto?!? I used to live at Yonge & Eglinton for years before I moved to the states!
Thanks! I do love those colors π
Itβs hard to see in the pics, but I bought a hank of Madelinetosh sock yarn from Simply Socks because Iβd heard good things about it, and the dye is coming off on my hands.
Iβve never had that happen before with any yarn, either mass produced or from indie dyers π₯΄π§Άπ§¦
Funny. Iβm the opposite. I started off using Chiagoo and then discovered Addi and love them even more. I still use Chiagoo, of course, but if theyβre available Iβll chose Addi 9/10 times.
Iβve yet to try two-at-time but itβs on my list of techniques to experiment with this year.
As an English knitter I found them too fiddly to hold, and there seemed to be an excessive amount of laddering despite me tightening stitches. Just not for me.
As someone who has knit #socks with DPNs, magic loop, and tiny circs, I decided to give Addi FlexiFlips a try in the interest of science.
After #knitting 15 rounds of K2P2 ribbing and an inch of stockinette, I can officially say theyβre definitely not my favorite π π§Ά π§¦
My wife got me this #sock set for Christmas and it just arrived today as a belated gift. Canβt wait to see how it looks when I start #knitting it up ππ§¦π§Ά
Finished #knitting my first pair of #socks for 2026. Opal Rainforest DK yarn ππ§Άπ§¦π
This was the first #sock I ever finished #knitting. Four years ago today. I believe it was Patons Kroy yarn. Happy Sockiversary to me ππ§Άπ§¦
