#boxofsocks

I met my goal of 12 finished pairs of socks in 2018! I knit socks for family, socks for me, handspun socks, gradient socks, speckle socks, colorwork socks and even a pair of socks with calf shaping! Whew! It was a socktastic year!! I'm not setting a specific number goal of socks to knit for next year but I am planning on continuing to add to my #boxofsocks and there are even some patterned socks calling my name. Wishing everyone a safe and happy New Year and warm feet! #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn #sockknittersofinstagram #sockstagram #boxofsocks2018 #freeallthehouseelveskal #knitallthesocks #nevernotknitting #knittersgonnaknit #knitstagram #knittersofig #knittersofinstagram #knitting #warmfeet #handknit #handknitsocks https://www.instagram.com/p/BsEPtXrFHO2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ve4k4yosd1ap

#latergram of the handspun socks I knit for my Mom as a holiday present. The yarn was a 2-ply slightly heavy fingering weight spun from my Lleaf combed top in the "Country Kitchen" colorway. I used my favorite toe up double gusset on the bottom pattern by @knitphomaniac . I am up to 11 pairs of socks knit in 2018 and I have pair #12 on the needles now! 🐑 #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #handspun #handspunyarn #handspunsocks #handspunstagram #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #knittersofig #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #nevernotknitting #sockstagram #freeallthehouseelveskal #operationsockdrawer #handknitsocks #boxofsocks #boxofsocks2018 #knitting https://www.instagram.com/p/Br3jtwYlKAy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a2qmc19clwle

@jwingate122 is hosting #instaknitnight and here I am still working on my June socks. I decided to add some calf shaping and I wasn't happy with the lifted purl increase I tried first. So...it was banished to time out for about a day; then there was some googling, some tinking and now I am making my way back up the leg with a P1 below increase that I am much happier with. I might winge over ripping back but I never regret it once it's over. Yarn is my "Angel Of Thursday" colorway iny Lleap Sock Twins with k3p1 ribbing to give it some extra Cas vibes. Tonight @jwingate122 wants to know what our favorite flavor of ice cream is. My personal favorite is Ben & Jerry's Non-Dairy Cherry Garcia (bonus points for a waffle cone and vegan rainbow sprinkles!). 🍧🍦🍨 What are you knitting (or crocheting) this evening? Join the #instaknitnight fun! #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #gradientyarn #sockknittersofinstagram #sockyarn #knitallthesocks #nevernotknitting #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #freeallthehouseelveskal #boxofsocks #sockstagram #handknitsocks #handdyedyarn #onmyneedles #wip #knitting #castiel #angelofthursday

With my June socks finally off the needles these sassy speckles have hopped right on! This is my "Phoenix Hatchling"🐣 colorway on Llark Speckle Sock (SW BFL/Nylon). I used the darker end of this skein for some sample yarn and had to snag the leftovers for some shorty socks! So in love with these fun flourescent highlighter pinks, oranges and yellows as they pop up on my needles.😊 #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #speckledyarn #specklesaresohotrightnow #llarkspecklesock #handdyedyarn #yarnlove #yarnstagram #knitting #nevernotknitting #knitallthesocks #operationsockdrawer #freeallthehouseelveskal #boxofsocks #handknitsocks #toeupsocks #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #onmyneedles #knittersgonnaknit #sockstagram #sockknittersofinstagram #sockyarn #specklegradient

More skeins for #titsoutcollective are in the steamer and I'm taking a quick break to join in #instaknitnight ! Here is proof that is hasn't been all tits all the time over here at Lady Llama headquarters.... there are also fangirl socks. I have been racing to the finish line with my June socks. This is my "Angel Of Thursday" colorway on my Lleap Sock Twins. I just has to sneak some extra Misha and Castiel into the photo shoot.👼 This week @jwingate122 wants to know if we have been planning or working on holiday projects yet. In a word....nope. Logically I know I should be responsible and avoid last minute holiday gift making. But I really resent when the winter holidays seem to infiltrate the rest of the year and my Autumn loving heart just has to stubbornly resist that phenomenon. That said, I do gift handmade things to loved ones throughout the whole year. Zippered pouch made by @sewashtastic and gifted to me by my wonderful Wife. 💗 #LladyLlama #indiedyer #gradientyarn #sockknittersofinstagram #knitallthesocks #boxofsocks #freeallthehouseelveskal #nevernotknitting #knittersgonnaknit #knitstagram #socktwins #castiel #angelofthursday #yarnlove #nerdyknitter #fangirlknits #fangirl #hpkchc #operationsockdrawer #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitlove

Pair #3 for 2018! Just in time for #FOfriday my "Fruit Of The Vine" Socks are off the needles and ready for a bath. I wanted to show the full length of sock you can get from our new Shorty Sock Twin sets, so you can see I played (and won) a calculated game of yarn chicken🐔 on the cuff. The two 30g balls of yarn that come in these sets still gave me a decent leg length with my size US Women's 9 foot. These were knit toe up with the amazing double gusset on the bottom of the foot by @knitphomaniac . I knit them at 64 st on a US1. These Shorty Sock sets are great for those that want to enjoy the full color spectrum of our gradient or speckle gradient yarns, but (like me) prefer shorter socks or have smaller feet. Our Llark Sock Twins are Speckle dyed so they are slightly fraternal twins of course. We also have our Lleap Gradient Sock Twins available in these Shorty sets. Both are dyed side by side with their twin to make them as closely matching as possible. The next pair I make will be my personally preferred ankle sock length, which should leave me enough to add a little to my scrappy Granny Stripe crochet blanket! What is your favorite length sock? #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #sockstagram #boxofsocks #operationsockdrawer #freeallthehouseelveskal #sockknittersofinstagram #sockyarn #speckledyedyarn #specklesocks #specklesaresohotrightnow #knittersofinstagram #knitting #handknitsocks #handknit #knittersofig #igknitters #knittersgonnaknit #shortysocks #Llark #HPKCHC #toeupsocks #fraternaltwinsocks #offtheneedles

#myday Working on the next shop update, taking #sockknitting breaks and of course lots of coffee. #coffeeislife☕️ Yarn is the "Fruit Of The Vine" colorway on my new Llark Shorty Sock Twins. 🎉These #speckle gradients are so fun to have on the needles! Look for these 30g/ball sock twins sets in the upcoming shop update (follow to get a heads up before the update goes live🔮) What makes these special? Our classic Sock Twins are 50g/ball so the Shorties are great for those who like shorter socks or have smaller feet but still want to enjoy the full gradient of my yarns. This SW BFL/Nylon blend is great for fingerless mitts or gloves too. The Shorty Sock line also includes my Semisolid Gradients in SW Merino/Nylon Lleap Sock. #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #specklesaresohotrightnow #shortysocks #handdyedyarn #gradientyarn #specklegradient #semisolidgradient #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #ontheneedles #wip #yarntrepreneur #sockyarn #sockknittersofinstagram #handknitsocks #crochetersofinstagram #craftersofinstagram #knitallthesocks #freeallthehouseelveskal #boxofsocks
