I really love knitting socks. I've knit many pairs, yet I am still always thrilled when I turn the heel, like it is magic or something! I seem to knit in phases, like at some times I am all about sweaters, other times all I want to knit are socks.
First, I finished my
Bridget socks!
I am thrilled with them!
I was about to show you all of the socks I have on the needles, but when I went and looked that was 7 pairs (!!) so I will just talk about my 2 most recents starts. First, I cast on
Deflect by Hunter Hammersen. This was for part of a knitalong where the guidelines were to knit something by Hunter. I am knitting it in Gourmet Stash Stout Sock.
Yesterday I started the next sock in the Op Art Sock knitalong,
Ludwig. I am knitting it with some Lion Brand LB1878 I dyed myself with Koolaid and some pink self striping Kertzer On Your Toes.
Also on the sock front, I darned my first sock! My Mona socks had gotten a hole in on heel, and I was on the brink of tossing them. Instead I tried darning. Here is the after photo:
I'll see how these wear. I had tried the method before that involved knitting patches, but those socks were too far gone before I started I think.
Linking up with
Patchwork Times for On the Needles Friday!

Love your Bridget socks! Look forward to seeing more finishes.
I love the "Hunter socks" and they are just my color if they need a home. But just in case, I did print out the pattern.
I love seeing all your beautiful socks!! 7 pairs on needles all at once -- amazing!! I don't have that many needles, thank goodness. lol
I am interested in how you dyed your yarn with kool-aid. I received some unbleached alpaca yarn and wanted to dye it with bright colors.
I got most of my information in a Ravelry group called What a Kool Way to Dye. There is information for using Koolaid, Easter egg dyes and also regular food coloring.
love those socks! my DD would really love those socks its a great winter to knit!
Love those Bridget socks! Great job!
