Knitting Socks these days

I love hand knitting socks and I love wearing the socks I knit! What a joy!
made of Lang yarns Jawoll 75% wool and 25% nylon

I have 1 more ball of this yarn same colour,
and aim to knit a pair in stocking stitch
for a tighter knit and tighter fit, therefore more warmth.
Made of Noro Silk Garden yarn 75% wool, 25% nylon.

The finished pair is shown above in a separate post.

Patons Kroy 4 ply manufactured in Turkey, wonderful to wear. A favourite of mine.
I have many more balls of this yarn to experiment with.
Made of 75% wool and 25% nylon.

The pattern in this yarn is lost in the ribbing used for the stem of the sock
and is easily distinguished in the stocking stitch used for the foot. A learning experience!
The colour is more indigo than shows in the picture.

Yoga socks! Made of Patons Kroy wool and nylon

Functional, Practical, Comfort and Warmth-- rules.

This pair I reinforced the heel.
This pattern and needle size makes the foot too loose for my liking.
I have another ball of this same yarn
and will use it to knit a tighter pair using a different pattern and smaller needles.
This pair I now keep for summer gardening. The socks are airy yet will absorb any moisture caused by feet in boots.

This is the last pair of the acrylic socks!
Live and Learn.

These are my initial learning socks. Made of acrylic yarn.
I am not a fan of acrylic socks and debated ridding myself of them but find they do come in handy.
The fit is looser than I like and acrylic does not have a good memory,
Update(!) The story continued like this… I was taking all three acrylic pair to donate to a second hand
store when a friend spotted them. I gave them to her. She LOVES them.
