My wife wanted a pair of #socks based around one of her favorite anime characters, but didn’t want white to be the dominate color, so I came up with this design and #knit one. Glad she likes it.

Now to do the other one. 🧢🧦

Finished #knitting a pair of WYS #socks last night in the Owl colorway, and got two more skeins in the mail today. The DK ones are first on my needles 😁🧢🧦

My Brain: You should probably be #knitting baby stuff or blankets or socks for Christmas.

Me: I think I’ll knit another sweater πŸ˜‚

Started this Friday night using Drops Nepal. Nothing fancy. Just a workhorse sweater that’ll last.

Still have to do the other one, but I managed to finish #knitting a sock this weekend. Yarn is WYS in the Owl colorway from the County Birds series 😁🧦🧢

Finally finished #knitting my fall/Halloween #socks. Yeah, they’re two different ones, but that was the idea in my head. Cobbled together like Frankenstein 😁🧢🧦

Hehehe thanks. I don’t mind the stockinette. Once I divide off for the sleeves, I can get the body done pretty quick. It’s just a big sock to me πŸ˜‚

Finished all the colorwork on my new sweater I’m #knitting, and it looks amazing! So happy I was able to do all that on the first try without any issues. Still have a long way to go, but the hard part is over! 😊🧢

How many stitches do you use for baby socks? I have a friend who is having twins and would love to make her some.

Yup! This weekend. Was gonna record last weekend but one of our four-legged family members passed away and sucked all the motivation out of me.

I had planned on recording a new podcast episode this weekend since it’s been a while, but we lost one of our four-legged family members on Friday and it’s sucked all the motivation out of me. Hug your pets close. They might not be your whole world, but you’re theirs ❀️
