And fresh cuffs with stretchy bind-offs and more secure ends!
The cuffs of handknit socks. The front sock has pink and white colorwork with a blue cuff, while the back sock has blue and white colorwork with a pink cuff.

Time for some sock surgery - one bind-off is a bit too tight and the other is coming undone, so the socks are getting new cuffs!

The cuffs of two handknit socks. One sock has blue and white colorwork with a pink cuff. The other sock has pink and white colorwork with a blue cuff. On the blue and white sock with a pink cuff, a cable runs through the row below the cuff. A few rows of a new pink cuff have been added to the blue and white sock.

The Simple Thing scarf is off the needles and soaking now, but here is a pre-block preview (with a sock cameo)

Stash busting with The Simple Thing by @heathlandknits.bsky.social

As the name implies - it's quite simple, which makes it perfect for modification.

I'm using fingering weight yarn, 3.25mm needles, and I'm increasing/decreasing every 10 rows.

Socks are done! #knitting #knitsky 🧶
A pair of handknit socks made with dark, variegated yarn in cool tones. There is a textured diamond motif across the top and leg off the sock. A close-up of the transition to the diamond texture above the heel. A close up of the transition to the diamond texture on the toe.

One sock done! (It is not actually blocked, nor are the ends woven in, but I wanted a nice picture)

I really like how this yarn is working up! 🧶

Somehow I've found myself writing a pattern, though, and it's using up a lot of my brainpower
Half of a hand knit sock made with dark, variegated yarn in cool tones. It features a diamond motif. The sock is on top of a knitting chart that has a lot of messy notes written on it.

Oh no, the hyperfixation is fixating

Had trouble finding a sock pattern I liked, so just decided to make up my own.

I highly recommend looking through stitch dictionaries for inspiration. I found mine here: www.studioknitsf.com/seersucker-s...

The beginning of a toe-up, handknit sock made with variegated purple and gray yarn on top of a note book with a very rough knitting chart. The chart shows a textured diamond motif that can also be see on the sock itself.

Me to my husband: I only ordered one ball of yarn.

The ball of yarn 🧶

Current WIP for #showmeyourknits

I've got a bunch of this purple cotton yarn in my stash that I wasn't sure what to do with, but I figured I couldn't go wrong with a shawl.

And it's done! A nice easy hat to use up the stash 😂

Yarn: Lana Grossa Super Soxx Cashmere Color 4-Ply

I knitted the brim to the inside of the hat and used a stretchy bind-off because grafting was beyond my brainpower
