In full procrastination mode rather than put the new pattern on Ravelry mode. It’s always terrifying releasing a knitting pattern into the world. Here are my Magical Mycelium socks earlier today with Ivy.πŸ˜»πŸ„ #knitsky #stoneknits #knitting

An unfinished knitted sock in progress, resting on a lap. A hand with painted blue finger nails is holding it. The sock has a blue ribbed cuff and β€˜sky’ section on the leg with purl stitch fluffy clouds. Underneath are sweet colourwork knitted houses on the leg of the sock, followed by green colourful tweed sock yarn that looks like a field with wildflowers in it. The heel has almost been completed. The sock is on a pair of red cord knitting needles. In the background on the wooden table behind the sock, is a plate with a croissant on it and a glass of matcha latte.

Dream Home sock set will be available tomorrow!❀️ Here’s a quick sneak peak of one of the designs inspired by country cottages, situated on rolling grass hills in the countryside, with little fluffy purl bump clouds in the skies above. Excited to share them both with you!

A pair of discarded pull on brown walking boots left on some stone steps. Inside the boots are a pair of hand knit fluffy sheep socks.

A photo taken in a mirror of a person’s feet and legs, side on. They are wearing hand knit colourwork socks with a quilt star motif on and are wearing platform Mary Jane Doc Marten shoes. Their hand can be seen taking the photo on their phone.

Couldn’t resist taking this quick pic of my Under the Quilt socks this weekend while waiting for my teen in the clothes shop changing room. #stoneknits #knitsky #sockknitting

YouTube video by Stone Knits Stone Knits colorwork socks yarn floats advice. #stoneknits #knittedsocks #knitting

I get asked alot about colorwork sock yarn floats and how to manage them at the needle ends if you’re knitting with DPN’s or Magic Loop method, so I’ve made a quick video tutorial on it youtube.com/shorts/HD0j-...

Honestly they’re comfortable and my feet have not got wet wearing them. But people have complained they can steam up, but I only wear them when it’s cold and I permanently have cold feet (hence I knit socks) so this hasn’t happened to me.

My hand is holding the cuff of a hand knitted sock that is on a pair of red needles. The sock is covered in a colourwork knitted ladybug pattern. The knitting is lying on my lap. On the table is my knitting book and a finished pair of grey ladybug socks
