Tiny Socks
Scrappy Tiny Socks
These are just something I like to knit.
After making a couple hundred tiny socks, literally, I needed something fresh to do with the idea. I decided I would knit the ugliest tiny sock I could. You know, in keeping with ugly Christmas sweaters and Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree. I tied together the most unlikely, mismatched pieces of leftover yarn I could, and knit a tiny sock.
Did I succeed? No! It was a complete failure, because as you can see they are so cute! (I think.) They’re absolutely one of a kind. It’s impossible to predict how they’ll turn out, except maybe to choose a mood of the yarn, so I have some that are more subdued or lighthearted, some that are VERY PINK, and some that are just gentle and calm. I’m obsessed with these things.
I tie together short lengths of yarn as little as two inches long using magic knots, and I leave those ears or tails so that it’s easier to work them to the inside and keep them in place. I wind them up, and off I go. These are the ultimate use of those last little bits of leftover yarn. (I hate to waste yarn). They’re great fun, and I love to make them.
