Starting a pair of Let it Shine Socks (free pattern by Sarah Youde on Ravelry). I like the little lace pattern that runs along the side - just enough to keep it from being boring but still simple enough for watching TV! #kinfolkBFLsockyarn #copperbeachcolourway #knittersofinstagram #addictedtosockknitting #neverenoughsocks #handdyedyarn #yarnforsale #handknitsocks #knittersofcanada

Just to let you know that the BOB Socks pattern is now published. Originally this pattern was used for the #instasockkal I ran here with weekly installments. The pattern has now been combined into 1 and an extra size added. The pattern is a paid for pattern on Ravelry, newsletter subscribers should have received their free copy. Until Aug 1st I'm offering a free copy to new newsletter subscribers as well. Just click on the link in the bio. If you missed the #bobsock fun the first time around, this is a cuff down sock, easily achievable by a beginner to sock knitting. There is a short row heel instead of a heel flap and a round toe with no Kitchener stitch! #sockknitting #sockyarn #socktawk #sockknittersofinstagram #operationsockdrawer #iloveknitting #knitaddict #neverenoughsocks #louisetilbrookdesigns #indiedyer #indieyarn #knitting_inspiration #knitstagram #cuffdownsocks #madtosh #yarnlove #i_loveknitting #makesocksnotwar #makersofinstagram #makersgonnamake

A few people asked about the rounded toe on my latest sock - specifically about the fit. This is the best photo I have to show it but it is really comfortable. A little roomier than a standard toe but so far no complaints at all. To work the toe was super simple too. On 64st: K6, k2tog to end K6 rnds K5, k2tog to end K5 rnds K4, k2tog to end K4 rnds K3, k2tog to end K3 rnds K2, k2tog to end K2 rnds K-1, k2tog to end K-1 end K2tog to end Break yarn and thread back through rem 8st. Pull tight and weave in end Simples! #sockknitting #sockyarn #socktawk #sockknittersofinstagram #operationsockdrawer #iloveknitting #knitaddict #neverenoughsocks #louisetilbrookdesigns #indiedyer #indieyarn #knitstagram #knitlove #knitlife #knitallthesocks #knitaddiction #instaknit #knittersofinstgram #knittersofig #handknitsocks #stashdash #yarnlovechallenge #stashdash2017

Good morning. It's time for the 4th and final installment in our #instasockkal. It's been really great to see all of your fabulous socks taking shape and I hope you've been enjoying the knitting. For this #bobsocks design I wanted to try out a simple rounded toe as an alternative to my usual and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. Quick, easy to do and no need to Kitchener - sounds like a winner in my book. Anyway, have a go. I'd love to know what you think. To work the toe was super simple too. On 64st: K6, k2tog to end K6 rnds K5, k2tog to end K5 rnds K4, k2tog to end K4 rnds K3, k2tog to end K3 rnds K2, k2tog to end K2 rnds K-1, k2tog to end K-1 end K2tog to end Break yarn and thread back through rem 8st.

These socks simply flew off the needles. I bought the yarn - #madtosh light at Loop last weekend and then knit on these through the fabulous and inspiring @blogtacular Simple short row heel and a rounded toe. If you fancy a bit of a fun, relaxed sock KAL starting next week I'll be putting up a section of the pattern each week on here for free. Eventually this will be a freebie to my newsletter subscribers but I thought we could have fun with it first. So if you fancy knitting a cuff down sock with no heel flap and no Kitchener stitch - this is the one for you. Or if you know a friend who might be interested please tag them to share it with them. See you on Monday with installment No. 1 #instasockkal #louisetilbrookdesigns #sockknitters #sockknittersofinstagram #operationsockdrawer #socktawk #socklover #knittersofinstgram #neverenoughsocks #knitallthesocks #knitaddiction #knitstagram #instaknit #knitlove #knitlife #makersofinstagram #makersgonnamake #handknitsocks #slowlife #slowliving #stashdash2017 #stashdash #specklesaresohotrightnow

Hooray for finished socks. They have been languishing as WIPs for far too long and all it took was a little time to myself to pop the afterthought heels in. I know I should wash and block them but I'm being a rebel and I really want to wear them today. On the outside I will be a sensible and smartly attired scientist. On the inside a Star Wars resistance fighter and rebel. Perfect for a Monday morning. May the Force be with you. #knitstagram #knitlove #knitters #tricot #tricoter #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #yarnlove #yarnlovechallenge #collectivelycreate #knitaddict #wearethemakers #makersofig #livecreatelove #sockknitting #sockyarn #socktawk #handknitsocks #neverenoughsocks #operationsockdrawer #iloveknitting #toeupsocks #toeupsocksrock #stripysocks #selfstripe #louisetilbrookdesigns #muststashyarn

Good morning and welcome to the #instasockkal. Let's grab the needles and get cracking. When casting on for a cuff down sock I prefer to work 1 row flat before joining to work in the round - to reduce the risk of accidental twisting. Using long tailed cast on, cast on 64 st onto your circular needle. Set-up: k1tbl, p1 to end. Join to work in round, being careful not to twist & work in twisted rib (K1tbl, p1) to end, until cuff measures 1.5” from cast on edge. For the original #bobsock I knit the first and last 4 stitches of each needle in twisted rib - for this second version I chose to work them in garter stitch Leg: Ribbed panel option N1: (k1tbl, p1) x 2, k24, (k1tbl, p1) x 2    N2: repeat as for N1 Work each rnd exactly the same until cuff measures 7” from cast on edge. Leg: Garter panel option Rnd 1 N1: p4, k24, p4                N2: repeat as for N1 Rnd 2 N1: k all st                N2: repeat as for N1 sockknitting #sockyarn #socktawk #sockknittersofinstagram #operationsockdrawer #iloveknitting #knitaddict #neverenoughsocks #louisetilbrookdesigns #indiedyer #indieyarn
