FO Friday - pink madness
As I said on Wednesday, I finished my snuggly soft simple socks. I'm not entirely sure why they seem to have an aura in this picture, but perhaps it's because they so amazing!
I love how soft and warm they are, and I love the way the yarn knitted up into such a pretty colour and pattern. I do have a few problems with them though...
At every point where I've joined the heel flaps I have holes like this, and I have no idea how to get rid of them, or what I've done wrong. I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to avoid this next time I make a pair of socks!
And I found out, after finishing the first sock, that I was doing Kitchner stitch wrong. I couldn't go back and fix the first sock, since I'd woven in the ends, so I decided to just leave them. I do now know how to do it right for next time though

I've not quite finished, I still have 2 1/2 boy hats to do. The camo yarn I'm using for boy hats is a lot warmer than it shows up in this picture, and I think is really cute for a little boy. I'm trying to make a few different sizes so that there are lots to choose from. They are this pattern, and i would really recommend making some to donate if you have any space baby yarn lying around!

so sweet! I love that idea. I do have some baby sport lying around. maybe I will crochet up a few preemie hats to donate to our children's hospital! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYour socks are beautiful & look very snuggly. No wonder they glow :-) Kitchener's a pain until it clicks in your head. I bet that most sock knitters have at least one pair with very strange grafting in their histories.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog at napiligal. I'll post a pic with them on when I finish them.
ReplyDeleteYour socks are beautiful. I love the pattern the yarn made. As for the holes along the picked up edge. I hope I can explain this correctly, but be sure to pick up both sides of the stitch you're picking up, not just one strand. Hope that helps
Here's a youtube video showing her picking up those stitches

Aww, love the little hats. So cute!
ReplyDeleteThe socks look great. So funny that they have an aura around them. LOL That's a pretty good link that Napiligal linked to. Try that!
The socks are so cute, and so are the hats! :) I personally love all the pink!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck fixing the holes at the heel flap. I hope Napiligal's comment is helpful since mine totally isn't. ;)
Very pretty color combination with the pink. Love it! Yeah, Kitchener. I have to look it up every time I make a pair of socks because I forget it from one day to the next. Guh.
ReplyDeleteI had holes in the sides of my first socks too. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the little preemie hats.
Those socks are really cool looking. I love the color. And preemie hats are so adorable. I bet they look super cute in their little hats.
ReplyDeleteI know some people actually take thread and go through the holey parts of socks when they're done...but I don't know if that's what you were going for. I just leave the little holes as is because I usually wind up wearing another pair of socks under my hand-knits anyway...
ReplyDeleteThey look so cool! I do love that yarn, and I bet they are fantastically snuggly socks :)
ReplyDeleteThese socks came out great! I love the color :D Were they self-patterning?
