How to - Magic Cast-On

You want to cast-on toe-up socks, but don't know how to?

Cat Bordhi was the one who showed me - I use this method every time:



A great tutorial!

Socks

Not much knitting these (moving)days, but I am knitting socks, slowly.

This is my Tropical Mer-Tini socks (Sockmadness 3):



Way to big for me. They are gifted to my hubby, the first handmade pair of socks from me (after 10 years together)!

Pattern: Tropical Mer-Tini by Ronni Smith
Needle: 2.5 mm (US 1 1/2)
Yarn: Zwerger Garn Opal Smoke, 70 gram (325 yards)
Mods: none


A new sock are now on my needle in this yarn:



Mor Aase Raggegearn. I'm using the "Falkgarn socks" pattern.

Have a nice weekend!

Merino socks

This is my new pink socks:



The yarn was a gift from Karipia, my very first socks in merino wool - so soft and just a joy to knit.


Look at the beautiful pattern:





Free pattern: Lakehouse socks (Ravelry link)
Yarn: Eddagarn by Viking of Norway, 100% Merino wool, 75g (300 yards)
Needles: US 1½ / 2.5 mm

About the pattern: This was not a very easy pattern. I had some difficulties with the start of the pattern at the foot and again with getting the pattern right after the heel, but I did it and the result is beautiful.

Happy knitting!

Smart socks

I've knitted socks again.




Inspired by Wendy of Wendy Knits! I've knitted a toe-up sock with gusset increases on the bottom of the foot instead of on the sides.

Gusset:



Gusset increase:



Yarn: Sandnes Garn Smart, 1.8 skeins = 195 yards (180 m)
Needles: US 4 / 3.5 mm
Methods: toe-up, magic cast-on, magic loop, 24/44 sts, 2x2 rib, gusset increase

Very fun knitting!


Have a nice weekend!

Last minute gift

I made a last minute gift for my son, since he loved my Falkgarn socks.



Just a 2x2 rib this time, but the rest of the pattern is the same.



I hope he will be happy with the result. :)

Thanks again to Marianne G for gifting me the yarn. *hugs*


Tusen takk for alle hyggelige kommentarer de siste dagene. Jeg lover å besøke alle som har vært innom!
