Als je een fervent sokkenbreister bent hou je vaak restjes over. Een 100 grams-bol (4-draads) is groot genoeg om een paar sokken tot maat 46 te breien, en aangezien een aanmerkelijk deel van de bevolking op kleinere voet leeft heb je al gauw wat over.

Pansy Path Socks I was recently presented with the opportunity to design another pattern for our friends at AllFreeKnitting, complete with this Lion Brand Sock-Ease yarn. And, long story short, this is what I came up with - a dainty color pattern that completes a clean design. I also knit one of these bad boys on 9" circulars, which I quite enjoyed (especially with this eensy weensy yarn). Anyway, you'll have to visit AllFreeKnitting to find the pattern for now (link below), but you can find all kinds of pictures right here in the meantime! Sizes: adult small (adult medium; adult large) (small corresponds to the following US shoe sizes: women's 5 - 7 and men's 4 - 6, medium corresponds to women's 8 - 10 and men's 7 - 9, and large corresponds to women's 11 - 14 and men's 10 - 13) Yarn: Lion Brand Yarns Sock-Ease (75% Wool, 25% Nylon; 438 yards [400 meters]/100 grams); #100 Marshmallow - one skein (color A), #174 Green Apple – one skein (color B), & #139 Lollipop – one skein (color C) A closer view of these little snockerinos. Needles: one set of double pointed needles (dpns) in size US 1, one set of double pointed needles in size US 2 Notions: Tapestry needle, stitch holder or scrap of yarn for holding stitches Gauge: 30 stitches = 4 inches in stockinette on size US 2 needles So let's make some socks! First, then, using a Long-Tail or an Old Norwegian cast-on (for stretch), your color A yarn, and your size US 1 dpns, cast on 60 (68; 72) stitches loosely, divide between 3 dpns evenly, and join in round. Then we’ll knit our ribbing, as follows: Ribbing Row: * p2, k2; rep from * Knit this ribbing row until sock measures roughly 1.75” (2”; 2.25”). Then switch to your size US 2 needles and knit five rows around. Then we’ll work our color stripe as follows. Make sure to leave your yarn very loose behind the slipped stitches, or your sock will be too tight. Color Rows 1 & 2: using color B, * k2, slip 2 with yarn in back (wyib); rep from * Color Row 3: using color A, knit Color Rows 4 & 5: using color C, * slip 2 wyib, k2; rep from * Color Row 6: using color A, knit Color Rows 7 & 8: using color B, * k2, slip 2 with yarn in back (wyib); rep from * Knit color rows 1 – 8. Clip the tails of your color B & color C yarns, since you’re done with them. Using color A, knit 10 (15; 20) rows in stockinette. Once these rows are done, it's time to begin working the heel portion of the sock. With that in mind, k15 (k17; k18). Then, turn work around and, using the same needle, p30 (p34; p36). The 30 (34; 36) stitches you just worked are your heel stitches, so you can go ahead and transfer the other 30 (34; 36) stitches to a stitch holder or yarn scrap to work later. Continuing with your heel stitches, then, we'll knit like so: Heel Row 1 (right side): * slip 1 stitch purlwise (slip 1) with yarn in back (wyib), k1; rep from * Heel Row 2: slip 1 with yarn in front (wyif), purl to end of row Knit heel rows 1 & 2 15 (17; 18) times. Then we'll begin our heel turn, which uses short rows for shaping. So we'll knit the following two transition rows: Transition Row 1 (right side): k17 (k19; k20), ssk, k1, turn Transition Row 2: slip 1 wyif, p5, p2tog, p1, turn And once those two bad boys are done, we'll continue the heel turn as follows. Note that you'll be bridging the gaps made by the turns with your ssk and p2tog stitches, and that wrapping & turning isn't necessary in this instance. Turn Row 1: slip 1 wyib, knit to one stitch before gap from turn on previous row, ssk, k1, turn Turn Row 2: slip 1 wyif, purl to one stitch before gap from turn on previous row, p2tog, p1, turn Knit turn rows 1 & 2 until you've worked all of your heel stitches. If you're knitting the large size, on your final repeat of turn row 1, you will omit the final k1, and on your final repeat of turn row 2, you will omit the final p1. When you're done with this section, you will have (18, 20, 20) stitches remaining on your heel, and it will be time to begin the gusset. With that in mind, we'll knit the gusset set-up row as follows: Gusset Set-up Row: with first needle, knit across all heel stitches. Then, pick up and 16 (18; 19) stitches along edge of heel flap, placing each stitch in one of your slipped edge stitches, and placing the final picked-up stitch in the corner where the heel meets the top of the sock. With your second dpn, knit across instep (your 30 (34; 36) held stitches). Then, with 3rd dpn, pick up 16 (18; 19) stitches along other edge of heel flap, placing first picked-up stitch in the corner where the heel meets to the top of the sock, and then knit across first 9 (10; 10) stitches from first dpn, so that the round once again begins at the center back of the heel. You should now have 25 (28, 29) stitches on your first needle (or before your first row marker), 30 (34; 36) stitches on your second needle, and 25 (28, 29) on your third. Complete the gusset set-up row. Now we're ready to work on the gusset, as follows. Make sure to read the directions below the rows carefully, as they will be specific for your size. Gusset Row 1: knit until you have 3 stitches left on your first needle, k2tog, k1; knit across second needle; k1, ssk, knit until end of third needle Gusset Row 2: knit Knit gusset rows until you have 15 (17; 18) stitches left on each of your first and third needles. Now we'll continue in stockinette, without decreases, until the piece measures roughly 7.5" (8"; 8.75") from the back of the heel, or until you're at about 2" (2.25"; 2.25") from your desired finished length. Now it's time to work on the toe decreases. With that in mind, we'll continue like so: Toe Row 1: knit until 3 stitches remain on first needle, k2tog, k1; on second needle, k1, ssk, knit until 3 stitches remain on second needle, k2tog, k1; on third needle, k1, ssk, knit until end of needle Toe Row 2: knit Knit rows 1 & 2 until 32 (36; 36) stitches remain in sock. Then we'll work Toe Row 1 only (no toe row 2!) until only 12 (16; 16) stitches remain. Knit stitches from needle 1 onto needle 3, so that there are only 6 (8; 8) stitches on each of two needles. Use the Kitchener Stitch to graft final stitches. Then, tuck in ends, and block. Make another.
Gallifrey Socks are worked in the round from the toe up using a seamless cast on, optional gusset shaping, and a short row heel. Due to the intarsia cabling not lending itself to a lot of stretch, strategic increases are added to give these socks a comfortable fit along with a refined style. This pattern can be a little fiddly, but oh-so worth it! A link to a video tutorial is available within the pattern to walk you through the technique if you are just learning intarsia. Sizes: Gallifrey is #sizeinclusive, but if you find that your size is not represented, please send me a PM! Youth {7”/18cm circumference) Adult Small {8”/20cm circumference} Adult Medium {9”/23cm circumference} Adult Large {10”/25cm circumference} Circumference is for the finished sock and does not include negative ease, which is approximately 1”/2.5cm. Materials: Approximately 80-125g Irish Fairytale Sock Yarn in MC and 20-40g Irish Fairytale Sock Yarn sock yarn in CC. Tools: US 1 (2.25mm) 32” (80cm) circular needle, or size needed to obtain gauge Cable Needle Tapestry Needle Measuring Tape Difficulty: Advanced Intermediate - Toe up cast on, stockinette, short rows, cables, intarsia in the round.

If you’ve seen any of my Instagram photos recently you will be under no doubt that I have recently become a tiny bit obsessed with scrappy socks - using up odds and ends of scrap sock yarn to create delightfully odd and mismatching stripy socks. We all have those tiny bits of sock yarn lying ar
This top-down sweater is knitted using two strands of fingering weight yarn held together throughout the entire project. Stockinette stitch forms the easy-to-knit marled bands. There is a little brioche break section between each stockinette stitch stripe to help blend the color combos together. The brioche break ribbed sections produce a beautiful plump texture throughout the sweater. Get creative and knit a multi-color version with all of your fingering weight yarns or make a more focused color palette with two colors held together for the main color with two other colors held together for the contrast color. Sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) Finished Measurements 36 (39, 44, 47, 53) (57, 61, 67, 71)″ / 91 (99, 112, 119, 135) (145, 155, 170, 180)cm finished chest circumference. These measurements are based on a stockinette stitch gauge of 19 sts = 4″ / 10cm. If you achieve a gauge of 20 sts = 4″ / 10cm in stockinette stitch, then these would be the finished chest circumference measurements… 34 (37, 42, 45, 50) (54, 58, 64, 67)″ / 86 (94, 107, 114, 127) (137, 147, 163, 170)cm Size 4 shown with about 3″ / 8cm of positive ease. I recommend selecting a size with about 2 – 4″ / 5 – 10cm of positive ease. Sleeve and body lengths are customizable. Yarn Fingering weight held double Yardage Approximately 1000 (1150, 1200, 1250, 1450) (1550, 1650, 1750, 1850)yds / 914 (1052, 1097, 1143, 1326) (1417, 1509, 1600, 1692)m of TWO strands of yarn. Yarn is held double throughout the entire sweater. So for example, when the yardage listed for Size 1 is approximately 1000yds / 914m of each strand of yarn, you will need about 2000yds / 1829m total of fingering weight yarn because you are holding two strands together. Size 1 Approximately 1000yds / 914m total of each strand of yarn MC - 575yds / 526m of each strand of yarn CC - 425yds / 389m of each strand of yarn Size 2 Approximately 1150yds / 1052m total of each strand of yarn MC - 620yds / 567m of each strand of yarn CC - 530yds / 485m of each strand of yarn Size 3 Approximately 1200yds / 1097m total of each strand of yarn MC - 650yds / 594m of each strand of yarn CC - 550yds / 503m of each strand of yarn Size 4 Approximately 1250yds / 1143m total of each strand of yarn MC - 675yds / 617m of each strand of yarn CC - 575yds / 526m of each strand of yarn Size 5 Approximately 1450yds / 1326m total of each strand of yarn MC - 775yds / 709m of each strand of yarn CC - 675yds / 617m of each strand of yarn Size 6 Approximately 1550yds / 1417m total of each strand of yarn MC - 825yds / 754m of each strand of yarn CC - 725yds / 663m of each strand of yarn Size 7 Approximately 1650yds / 1509m total of each strand of yarn MC - 875yds / 800m of each strand of yarn CC - 775yds / 709m of each strand of yarn Size 8 Approximately 1750yds/ 1600m total of each strand of yarn MC - 925yds of each strand of yarn CC - 825yds of each strand of yarn Size 9 Approximately 1850yds / 1692m total of each strand of yarn MC - 975yds / 892m of each strand of yarn CC - 875yds / 800m of each strand of yarn Yarn is held double throughout the entire sweater. So for example, when the yardage listed for Size 1 is approximately 1000yds / 914m of each strand of yarn, you will need about 2000yds / 1829m total of fingering weight yarn because you are holding two strands together. If you are using West Wool Bicycle held double, then I estimate you will need these skein requirements. MAIN COLOR (colors A & B held together) Color A - 3 (4, 4, 4, 5) (5, 5, 5, 6) skeins West Wool Bicycle Color B - 3 (4, 4, 4, 5) (5, 5, 5, 6) skeins West Wool Bicycle CONTRAST COLOR (colors C & D held together) Color C - 3 (3, 3, 4, 4) (4, 4, 5, 5) skeins West Wool Bicycle Color D - 3 (3, 3, 4, 4) (4, 4, 5, 5) skeins West Wool Bicycle The pattern is written for MC & CC stripes.

Hi, Knitters, The classes and registration information is up for the Madison Knitters' Guild Knit In! I am teaching on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 21 and 22, 2015 at the Alliant Energy Center (or the Coliseum for the old-school Madisonians) in Madison. There are so many great teachers and a fantastic marketplace. The prices are very reasonable for the classes, many places I teach charge double or even triple the class fees being charged at the Knit In. Some of the teachers include Patty Lyons, Joanna Johnson, Sheryl Thies and Annie Modesitt. There are many others instructors with interesting and fun class offerings. I hope to see you there! Click here for more information about this great Madison Knitting event! I'm off to New York City in a few days to teach at Vogue Knitting Live. I can't wait. In addition to teaching on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I am speaking on a panel discussion at noon on Sunday. The panel is being led by Trisha Malcolm the editor of Vogue Knitting. And on Saturday night I am doing a book signing at the Knitty City booth #710 in the marketplace at 5pm! A couple of my classes have been sold out but this keeps coming and going so I think numbers are still shuffling about. If a class is sold out be sure to request the class you are interested in. Sometimes I can change the numbers to allow more in the class if they aren't already too high. It's worth contacting the people at Vogue to check. It's going to be a jam-packed weekend of fun. Click here to find out more about VKLive in NYC! I am also teaching at Vogue Knitting Live in Pasadena, California in April! Click here for more information about VKLive in Pasadena. Now for the socks in the photo above. I finished these last week and I love them. The yarn is from ColoringBookYarns on Etsy and the colorway is BMO. The heels are knit in Opal Solids in Black. These were really fun to knit. The yarn is wonderful. Click here for Coloring Book Yarns on Etsy! Pattern: How I Make My Socks Needles: US size 1 dpns Sock blockers: From theloopyewe.com To make the heel flap a different color I leave the Main Color attached and start knitting the heel flap with the Contrast Color. I work the heel flap and turn with the Contrast Color and cut the yarn. Then I go back to where I left off with the Main Color and continue on picking up the gusset stitches. It works well to not break up the striping pattern on the rest of the sock and if you are concerned about not having enough yarn it gives a little more leeway. As for an in-progress knitting update, I finished the first sock in the most fantastic rainbow gradient I've ever seen. The yarn is called Rainbow Gradient and it comes in the Gradients Matching Socks Sets by KnitCircus. It is truly beautiful and I love that the two yarn cakes are exactly the same so my socks will match perfectly without having to do any extra work. Click here for Knit Circus Yarns!! US size 1 dpns Pattern: How I Make My Socks I knit an 8-inch cuff in hopes that I would reach all of the colors and it worked. I could have gone with a 9-inch cuff. I wear a 7.5 US women's shoe size. I started a pair of Broken Seed Stitch Socks yesterday. The pattern is free on Ravelry. Click here for the Broken Seed Stitch Socks pattern by handepande! I am knitting them out of some really old Koigu that I purchased at Purl Soho maybe 8 years ago when I was in NYC on an early book tour. I lost the label so that's all I know about it. The contrast is a tan color in the Opal Solid Series. The combination is a good one. I don't like pooling at all so the contrast color and stitch pattern is a good mask for variegated yarns that pool. You can see that the rusty color is pooling but it actually looks kind of cool using this pattern. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Lastly, I finally got started on a shawl project I am collaborating on with Jaala Spiro, the dyeing genius at Knit Circus Yarns. I am using the Come What May Gradient that comes in a 600 yard skein. I can't tell you how much fun this is to knit. I have a good start with a little easy lace and we'll see where this takes me. I have lots of ideas about how the shawl will grow from here. Click here to see this skein on Knit Circus Yarns on Etsy! I'm not sure when the new pattern is going to be released but I am hoping in the next couple months. I'll post about it when it is available. Have a great Sunday! It's all about the Packers around here today (not for me so much but for other members of the family). xo ~ susan

OK, the Whatever sweater by Julie Knits in Paris isn’t literally for whatever yarn you have on hand, but it would work for a lot of different things. She used two strands of fingering weight …
Gather a colorful array of scraps and stash yarns for this chunky quick-to-knit pullover. The top down sweater begins with a cozy ribbed turtleneck followed by spiral yoke increases. The rest of the sweater is knit in stockinette stitch so you can enjoy improvisational color changes. Experiment with a tonal color palette or go crazy with a whole rainbow of colors! Don’t be afraid to combine fuzzy mohair yarns with wool and silk blends. At three stitches to the inch, this sweater will quickly eat up those bits of yarn tucked in your yarn shelf and hiding in your kitchen cabinets and under your bed. Sizes S (M, L, XL, XXL) Finished Measurements 36 (40, 44, 48, 52)“ / 91 (102, 112, 122, 132)cm chest circumference. Large size is shown with 3” / 8cm of positive ease. Sweater is intended to fit with 2-4” / 5-10cm of positive ease. Body and sleeve lengths are customizable. Yarn A variety of yarn weights from lace weight to worsted or bulky. Experiment holding different yarns together even though the fabric density may vary slightly depending on yarn weights and fibers. I shaded my yarns from lightest to darkest for an ombre effect. Most of the time, I worked with 3 total strands of yarn. When I was ready to start changing colors, I removed 1 strand and replaced it with a darker strand of yarn. For example, work A, B & C together. Replace A with D. Work B, C & D together. Replace B with E (or another strand of D). Work C, D & E together. Replace C with F. And so on and so forth. You could even throw in a bright pop of color for a couple rows here and there. With the multiple stranding technique, it’s not absolutely necessary to weave in ends. You can just cut the hanging strands of yarn on the inside of your sweater. Have fun and experiment with color!
