First sock finished. This is a short cut sock for my four-year-old grandson. You can see the kinky texture where I used frogged yarn but it will smooth out after washing.

[KnitsWithHorses]

These are super cute!! I was wondering if these would work as short socks. The ones in making for Gauge are y'all but his brother, Luke, mostly wears short socks but I want sure how they would look.

I always reach for stubby pencils first as they are wonderful to use, and become favorites. Yours are adorable!

[Rose the Rebel]

Great job! I like the idea of shortie socks

[KnitsWithHorses]

Pencil socks completed! Such a fun pattern. 😊

[KnitsWithHorses]

knitter131 Char Thank you. 🤗
lovestostitch thanks I will. I was thinking I might have to go buy some pencils since all I have on hand are mechanical pencils that are red, white and blue or paisley. Lol

[pinesprairie]

These are awesome!

[Char]

KnitsWithHorses - paisley sounds good. Lots of colors that might be suitable for variegated yarn....

[KnitsWithHorses]

And one for theme...

[FreedomLover]

These are fantastic!

[KnitsWithHorses]

FreedomLover Thank you! 😁 Char did a great job with the pattern. The ONLY thing I changed was making it kid sized.

[Char]

Woot! I am glad the pattern worked out so well. My head is getting a little bigger today. LOL

[KnitsWithHorses]

Ok here's one for color:

[lovestostitch]

I was productive on our Fiberkind Zoom meeting today. I finished my pencil socks. Now they need a good soaking to get the kinky bumps out from using frogged yarn.

[qfknit]

pinesprairie - great questions.

I think Rose the Rebel meant "shorties" (short socks or ankle socks), not "stories."

The grafting that FreedomLover mentioned would be closing the toes, as the final step in knitting a pair of socks top-down (beginning with the cuff or opening at the ankle, and knitting down to the toe).

[Rose the Rebel]

Yes I meant shorties, bad proof reading on my part

[pinesprairie]

qfknit, Rose the Rebel Appreciate the info, thanks. No worries on not catching something, I just thought it was something about sock knitting I should know about for my 'someday'.

[lovestostitch]

Post for using the Back to School theme.

[lovestostitch]

Monthly color!

[KnitsWithHorses]

First sock finished in my Just Cuz shorties modified to toe up from the pattern Impossible Girl by Madeline Gannon. I've used this pattern many times. It's one of my go-to patterns for every day socks. It's written cuff down.

[lovestostitch]

They look great. I really like the design - simple (as in not a busy look) and the cable gives it a nice pop. Did that compliment make sense?

[KnitsWithHorses]

lovestostitch Absolutely made sense! That's a great description of exactly what I want in my every day socks. 😁

[FreedomLover]

I love this! Wearing these will make you feel happy.

[kas]

Finished my shorties for the high schooler. All in on pencil color choices.

[knitter131]

They look great!

[pinesprairie]

They are perfect.

[FreedomLover]

I love these!

[KnitsWithHorses]

I almost forgot to post these! I finished my Just Cuz socks and have cast on another pair of pencil socks, although they are not exactly traditional pencils. 😉

[Char]

I look forward to seeing what your non-traditional pencil socks look like!

[knitter131]

Bright and cheerful shorties, perfect for spring 🌸🌸

[FreedomLover]

These are so pretty.

[knitter131]

Just finished my “Back to School” socks. Yarn is a Knit Picks Felici. I always think of bright colors when I think of school. Especially those years in elementary school 😊😊

[Char]

Those are beautiful and bright!

[knitter131]

Thank you, Kathy7661 FreedomLover pinesprairie and Char 😊😊

[KnitsWithHorses]

Love these! I'm going to have to give that pattern a try at some point.
