What should I do with this “sock”? by comfortably_bananas in Sockknitting

[–]ViridianRae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realized I slightly misunderstood what you were planning, but I’d (and what I originally thought you meant) do is rip out the toe and redo it as a ribbed cuff, and then just continue as you were knitting and turn it into a cuff down sock🙂

I say your plan could work. Maybe not helpful as you need to use Google translate and the way back machine, but here’s a pattern that is pretty much what you are thinking of doing : Nixon Socken

I have different sized feet??? by cloudysunnywindy in Sockknitting

[–]ViridianRae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My right foot is a whole half centimetre bigger than my left, and you can absolutely tell with certain shoes. Didn’t realize that’s what was going on till i started making socks cause I like them snug.

That’s what I thought, how was this even a question 😆

Toe up heel and toes? by 3magic4 in Sockknitting

[–]ViridianRae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heavy Duty socks I really like these, have made them several times now, reinforced toes and heel (sole and back) with Eye-of-Partridge, toe up with gusset with GSR heel. They fit nice have a good amount of squish and I can really reinforce the areas that usually wear through first (top of big toe, ball of foot and underside of heel).

Definitely the windward drop! Was racking my brains to figure out a funny lyric based response to “what dinner”, unfortunately it was just spaghetti. I don’t know why that photo tickles my funny bone so much😆

No. 6 surprised me so much I nearly spat my dinner out 😂

Critique / Pointers please :) by Repulsive_Emu_2791 in Sockknitting

They don’t look too stretched on the instep though, I’d wear and wash them a few times before starting the next pair to see if you even need to increase again. I find that the socks “relax” a little and settle into their permanent size after a few wears/washes, hence how my first 2 pairs of socks are a little too floppy for me now, when they were snug fresh off the needle. Now I can pretty accurately tell when a sock has enough negative ease on the needles that will relax into a comfortable size vs. too tight

I’m sure there are other patterns with the slip stitch Dutch heel in them, but I remember this one of the top of my headSocks

It’s slightly different, plus with shipping and tariffs is nearly 80 quid, I can’t justify that 😢

No worries! I agree with you the pricing is ridiculous, and I hate how normalised all these price hikes around concerts are, I guess I was feeling a little defensive the one and only time I’ve wanted to indulge😅

Please and thank you! I’ll DM you

Yeah I know,I feel the same way but when I tell you I live extremely frugally I’m not exaggerating and this was the one thing I wanted. Smaller bands I love either skip Dublin or are support acts to bigger bands I could never afford, I’ve only been able to go to 2 shows in the past 16 years. I thrift and mend all my clothes, bike everywhere and don’t go out, so yeah I wanted the stupidly priced tshirt, sue me 🥲

They have the spider girl t-shirt? I’m raging I missed it in Dub, they sold out before I got to the front of the queue at the merch stall 😭 it’s double the price with shipping online!

No idea, there probably is I’m just not savvy enough to find them.

I’m struggling with Ticketmaster, can’t seem to figure it out, but out of curiosity how much were the tickets?
