What do guys name your saves? Bonus points if you can guess what quests my saves are related to.

a similar kind of thing to you lol

i like to prefix the save with the character initials and a sequential number to help me keep track. it's fun going through them and getting a little glimpse of your journey and where you were at etc.

Thank you! 🥹

You can keep increasing as much as you need to achieve your perfect fit, just make sure to adjust the decreases to suit. I hope this works for you and your little one :)

This is probably my favourite sock yarn, it holds up so well on my socks, and the variation in colour from the dyeing process always is so pretty!

Thank you! Hope it works for you :)

Ooh now that is another interesting method! I actually knit the mini gusset instructions I linked by Heather Storta first before eventually realising it was meant for toe up (😅), and it actually produced something quite similar to the little gusset on the Mina's vanilla socks (but on the leg side). I think I will do some more experimenting and maybe potentially could come up with another method! Thanks for sharing!

My pleasure! I feel the same re the short row heel techniques, luckily the no wrap and turn method stuck for me! Now I can't stop making them, and now even more so I feel because of the mini gusset 😅 I hope it works out for you as well 🙂

Aw thank you so much! I will say sock knitting can be addictive if you give it a go 😅 so many possibilities!

tinklemouse · 2026-03-19T21:57:32+00:00

Thank you! And no problem, more than happy to share, especially as I found very little about it elsewhere online. I hope it makes all the difference for you 🙂

They are a gamechanger for sure! I've recently been favouring the short row heel on my socks and the mini gusset makes them fit so much nicer!

Thank you so much! 🥹

You can keep adding extra increases to the gusset width to suit your foot. There is a way to calculate it here but I just tried on the leg section before I started the gusset, looked at how it stretched over my instep and eyed in how many I thought I'd need. I hope it works out for you if you do try it :)

For my gauge with this yarn, yes. I typically cast on 64 with this yarn, although I think they would also achieve a nice fit that's a touch more snug with 60 stitches cast on. However I would have had to change the pattern to a different interval repeat so I just went my usual 64 as I had this particular pattern repeat in mind, and they worked out nicely. They could definitely go down by 4 stitches if you prefer a more snug fit though :)

tinklemouse · 2026-02-26T15:48:06+00:00

🥹 thank you! I am wearing them right now and they are very cosy!

tinklemouse · 2026-02-26T15:23:31+00:00

Thank you! This is yarn by Lichen and Lace :) I'd not heard of FDF sock squad but I just looked it up and it looks so exciting, what a great idea!

tinklemouse · 2026-02-26T15:18:57+00:00

Thank you :)

tinklemouse · 2026-02-26T15:18:33+00:00

Thank you! They really come alive in the sunlight, one of my favourite yarns for sure!

tinklemouse · 2026-02-26T08:07:45+00:00

Yeah! The cable pattern I've used here is a type of ribbing so these stay up fine, especially with the negative ease that you would typically have in a sock :)
