Progress on my #sockmadness qualifier sock. Progress is slow but I think I am past the fiddly part now and hopefully followed all instructions to the T. Funny how sometimes the written word makes no sense 😌 🧶 #knitsky #sm19 #knitting

Struggled a bit with the setup for the top down heel flap. Was overthinking it and moved an extra stitch to the instep needle. The top down heelflap is worked over half of total stitches - hope I am right 😜🧶 #sockmadness #knitsky #showmeyourknits #wool #homesteadingskill 🧦

Started the second, now top down sock attached to the toe up version. I think I got the cable direction right. Mad, you say? YES! That is why it is called #sockmadness 🤪 🧶🧦 #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting #wool

Especially if you knit a lot, taking yoga breaks is super important! #yoga #yinyoga #podcast #exploresomapodcast

Sock Madness has started. Working on the qualifying sock. This will be the most relaxed knit of the competition since we have 2 weeks to get it finished. Special: both are knit in one piece and cut apart later. #showmeyourknits #wips #sockmadness #knitsky #sockknitting #knitting

It’s WIP time for #showmeyourknits. Got lots of those. This silk top is what I have been working on until a minute ago. Now, the Qualifier pattern for Sock Madness dropped and I will knit on that until it’s done. #knitsky #knitting 🧶 #silk Pattern: Stockinette tee by Svetlana Volkova

I started this top yesterday and it fits a little in the #showmeyourknits pink theme. What gets me. See the little piece of VM in the middle of circle? This is 100% silk and I can’t figure out why lots of Veggie Matter is everywhere in the yarn. With wool -yes, I know. But silk? Thoughts? #knitsky
