This was the first #sock I ever finished #knitting. Four years ago today. I believe it was Patons Kroy yarn. Happy Sockiversary to me 😁🧶🧦

My wife gifted me this beautiful #sock set today as an early Xmas present, which is perfect timing considering I just finished #knitting a pair last night. Now I have something new to work on this weekend 😁🧶🧦

My wife wanted a pair of #socks based around one of her favorite anime characters, but didn’t want white to be the dominate color, so I came up with this design and #knit one. Glad she likes it.

Now to do the other one. 🧶🧦

My Brain: You should probably be #knitting baby stuff or blankets or socks for Christmas.

Me: I think I’ll knit another sweater 😂

Started this Friday night using Drops Nepal. Nothing fancy. Just a workhorse sweater that’ll last.

Still have to do the other one, but I managed to finish #knitting a sock this weekend. Yarn is WYS in the Owl colorway from the County Birds series 😁🧦🧶

Finally finished #knitting my fall/Halloween #socks. Yeah, they’re two different ones, but that was the idea in my head. Cobbled together like Frankenstein 😁🧶🧦

I love obscure #horror movie facts, and this one about George C. Scott’s 1980 classic The Changeling is a fun one that not a lot of people know 🤯

Finished all the colorwork on my new sweater I’m #knitting, and it looks amazing! So happy I was able to do all that on the first try without any issues. Still have a long way to go, but the hard part is over! 😊🧶
