Thank you for replying, that's a good idea about the mini skeins but yes I think you're right, surely more is better anyway 😁

Silly Billy question but when knitting colourwork socks, do I need to buy full skeins of the accent colours as they'll be carried along with the main colour? #knitting #sockknitting #knitsky Does this even make sense 😅

Image shows a bird's-eye view of a pair of hand knitted socks on a wooden table. They are knitted in a neon yarn in yellow, green, pink and blue. The yarn has self-striped randomly but has pooled the same on each sock (a happy fluke!)

My third pair of socks are finished, hooray! 🥳

You are clever! I need to learn that technique

I reckon they'd be quite comfy as there's so seams / joins

That's a good idea! Do you have them each on separate needles? Will look it up!

Sorry to have taken so long to see this!! They are called the Baby Tube Socks and are on Ravelry by Hilke Buss / Haalu the Ugly Bunny (I think the latter might be the name of the book they're in?)

A hand knitted sock laying flat on my blue fabric sofa. The yarn is in random neon stripes of yellow, green, pink and blue. There is lots of different coloured stitch markers still in place along the front of the sock.

My adventures in sock knitting are ongoing, with my third pair of Vanilla Socks 50% complete. This time using Glow Sticks by @dyedinthewoolyarns.bsky.social I feel ready to try another pattern after these, I think. It would be good to learn something new 🧦

Thank you! The twist makes them very stretchy 😁

A pair of baby tube socks held up by the cuffs in front of my kitchen wall. They are knitted in a twisted ribbed pattern in hand dyed yarn in green, pink, teal and purple.

Hooray they're finished! 🥳 I realise now my first sock in a pair will be the dodgy / froggy one & the second sock will go quickly & relatively smoothly!

A hand holding up a knitted baby tube sock by the cuff. The fabric is a swirly rib so the sock appears to twist with a stockinette toe

This has taken me an embarrassing amount of attempts & 16 bloody days!!! Must have frogged 🐸 3 or 4 times as well has having to put a few lifelines in & rip back due to mistakes. Thought it would be easy!! But anyway, tube socks 🧦 halfway made, one more to go!! #knitting #sockknitting #knitsky

Half a baby sock on circular needles. The fabric is knit in a twisted pattern.

As I'm new to knitting, this is the only baby item I've got for #showmeyourknits but I'm excited to join in at last!!

It has done, when you said maybe one foot was bigger it was a funny thought to me that getting a bigger foot would solve the bigger sock problem 😁

I haven't noticed one foot is bigger than the other but maybe that's something i can work on? 😂 Will give these a block and see how they look. Thanks for replying 💕

A pair of hand knitted 'vanilla' striped socks in pastel colours. The second sock is slightly bigger than the first and the stitches are a little bit uneven. The first sock is a bit neater and slightly smaller as a result.

Okkkkk my second pair of socks is finished 🧦 My tension is a bit looser on the second sock (right), because I put it down & picked it up a lot more than the first sock. Not entirely happy but could be worse. Would blocking help? I don't have sock blockers #knitting #knitsky #sockknitting
