I finished these socks this morning. I'm quite happy with the result.

For the longest time I thought making socks was terribly complicated - not that I had ever read a sock pattern before. But since I've taken the plunge, it's become a favorite activity of mine. Comparatively fast to make; with the opportunity to switch techniques and wool quite often; small enough to carry around everywhere; something to do with my hand while I'm watching documentaries or waiting for a train or just tired after a long day. Also, the satisfaction of making something that I can then use all year round (woolen socks really make steel-toed boots more comfortable). I might even knit myself some cotton one next spring. Really, if you've always wondered, stop. Buy some knitting needles, a bit of yarn, and make your next socks. Your feet will thank you warmly ☺️

As I don’t have a swift or winder at home (nor do I have the space for a swift) I’m able to go to my happy little yarn shop and use their gear to wind up the two hanks I bought (Starry Starry Night from RedRobinYarns and Never Mind The B*ll*cks by BonaYarns) to prepare for some of the best, prettiest, softest (merino wool bases) socks :D

Honestly such a therapeutic activity too

The only thing that's cheering me up these days is my experiment with renaissance stockings, I'm finally getting my grip on continental knitting and with double point needles... It's growing slowly, but I'm satisfied with the result.

I'm starting from the medieval style long stockings by Anne DesMoines, but I'm sticking to the original gauge of 16 stitch per inch.
