February 2021 Sock KAL - Chat

Hygge would feel like a cloud on your feet! I’m wishing I had made some thick and warm house socks since the floor in here is SO COLD right now. We are in for over a week of stupid cold weather so I’ll be wearing socks 24/7 for a while. Lol I have a bunch of Hygge and it never occurred to me to make socks!

Thanks, everyone, I’m looking forward to it! Once I get my February socks done, I plan to actually use the yarn I bought for January for the window one because I found the perfect yarn for that one!

@KnitsWithHorses When my dil gave me this yarn I KNEW I wanted to make socks with it because it is SO soft! I found a few patterns for socks specifically with Hygge, so I figured it was acceptable to make socks from. The pattern I’m using isn’t a specific Hygge pattern, but the gauge is right, so I’m trying it!

These are my January Socks, still in progress…sigh. I decided that a pattern might be a nice change, so I found this simple herringbone stitch.

And I also started another pair, because, well, handspun.

PS: How do you all feel about drawstring project bags? Do you prefer additional handles?

Can’t see your socks, as the photo links are broken :(. However, I love your bag for the 2nd pair you started. very nice! I have lots of denim that I need to start using up, and that looks like a nice way to do it!

The project bags I make, are usually drawstring, as they are so much quicker to sew. However, I have some purchased zipper ones, and a few that I made with zippers too. And those are nice as well. I think either are good. Anyway to keep the project in the bag when you aren’t working on it.

great job!

Love the bag! Drawstring works for me, but I like handles too. I guess I’m officially not picky.

KnitsWithHorses · February 10, 2021, 7:48pm

I love the bag! I’m a big fan of the drawstring and using the drawstrings as the straps.

Thank you all for your feedback. I fixed the pictures @Spice2s.

I hope you don’t mind if I steal this!

@Nyssareen - not a bit!

I finished my other project and started my February socks today. This is my first time knitting with Regia’s Tutti Frutti cotton sock yarn.

KnitsWithHorses · February 13, 2021, 4:11pm

Gotta love a nice self striping yarn.

Pegg_Thomas · February 13, 2021, 4:21pm

Love the shorty socks.

Kokoriffic · February 15, 2021, 8:03pm

Very pretty yarn!
