More Socks
Still not much knitting going on around here. All I’ve done is a few more socks from leftovers. I found a blanket that I knitted for Floss from oddments quite awhile ago. As Floss is sadly no longer with us I decided to unpick the blanket and use the little balls of wool for the socks. Some of the wool isn’t in very good condition (Floss was a blanket digger!) but most of it is re-usable so I’ll probably get a few more socks out of it.
As I’ve said before, I’m not bothered about having matching pairs so I’ll just keep on knitting them until I’ve run out of wool.
Tonight I’m going to make a start on unpicking some of the socks whose toes have been darned, re-darned and re-darned again. I’ll use the good wool to make even more socks. Then I suppose I really should sew the back ankle seams up so that I can actually wear them – it would help, wouldn’t it?
Talk to you later,
Susan.

Hi Susan
Do you knit your socks on flatbed or by circular method? I am hoping knit some soon but cannot decide which method to use.

I knit them flat on the Knitmaster 4500.
So sorry to hear about Floss. Are you going to get a new puppy?? I love dogs too & can’t be without one for long.
Socks are great. My socks don’t match either but I wear them anyway. I can’t remember the last time I bought a pair for any of us. I have a CSM for the adult socks & kids I knit in the flatbed machine. Sheryl
We aren’t planning on getting another dog at the moment.
I very rarely buy socks now – why buy them when you can make your own?
i want socks , but sadly I had to sell my brother and studio knitting machines ;( any extra socks you have dont care if they match or not would be greatly appreciated let me know what your selling them for?
Thanks

Sorry Toni, they’re not for sale!
Great socks, I love the different colours in them. I have yet to try socks, I will have to watch your videos first.
Thanks, Maureen.
