Hi everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I had a very fun time Saturday night at our tiki event, as well as Sunday at the fiber fest that my knitting group and I went to. I plan to write a long post tomorrow, along with a picture of all of us sometime this week, so check back for that! I got a few new skeins of yarn, a few project bags and beads! I can't wait to show you all.
Now to WIPW!
This is the first sock of the pair, but I'm almost finished with it. I'll definitely have it done by Friday, so will have a project for FO Friday (even though it's kind of cheating since the project is only 50% done at that point).
I just have to say, I LOVE THIS PATTERN! It is so easy, but not boring. The pattern is Hermione's Everyday Socks which is a free pattern on Ravelry. It fits great so far (as you can see in the picture) and is very comfortable. I'm using Candy Skein Yummy in Royal Rock Candy.
That's it for me this week. I've worked on my Rhombi a little, but not enough to show you. The sock has been my focus since I have so many to do for Christmas.

I love that pattern too!! Generally, I'm not a huge fan of socks but these are so me. Yours look great. I can't wait to knit a pair for myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm wickedly jealous of your sock progress!! It looks absolutely fantastic! :D
ReplyDeleteLooking great! I love the colour and the yarn goes so well with that pattern
ReplyDeleteits looking beautiful so far!
ReplyDeleteLove the socks. If I ever finish my first pair I'll be having a go of that one.
ReplyDeleteGreat sock! Beautiful colors, as always :)
ReplyDeletelove the colour !!
ReplyDeleteThe sock looks very comfy, and I love your Royal Rock Candy colorway!
ReplyDeletereally cute pattern and it looks great in that color! Quick, finish it before your toes get cold.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice pattern and I really like the color!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pattern recommendation. I've added it to my faves, and if I ever catch up on my year of projects, I'll add it to my queue. Yours look great in that really happy blue!
ReplyDeleteThat sock is looking lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe socks are really cute. All that texture looks great in your colorway. I totally agree that one sock counts as an FO!
ReplyDeleteThat pattern is in my queue. I'm not sure which of my many (hundred) sock yarns I'm going to choose but we'll see :)
ReplyDeleteLove how that sock looks...skipping off to add it to my queue
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sock! Can't wait to hear about the tiki weekend. =)
ReplyDeleteLoving the socks! Thanks for sharing the pattern
ReplyDeleteHave a great Wednesday
Tami, that sock is gorgeous! I plan to make the Hermione sock in a yummy tangerine-colored yarn that I have -- I think they will be awesome to wear in February hidden underneath all my black suit pants. :)
ReplyDeleteCan I ask a question about the heel flap? I'm knitting my first socks now and really love the slip,knit, slip, knit patterning on the flap -- it's so thick and squishy! Does the stitch pattern on the Hermione sock account for extra thickness on the heel flap? If not, have you made any modifications for it? I'd really love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!
Lissa
Love those socks, pattern and the yarn.
ReplyDeleteLove the sock..and I forgot to link earlier...here you go...
ReplyDeleteLove the sock!!
ReplyDeletelove that color! your stuff is so pretty. :o)
ReplyDeletei'm cheating just a bit on my wip for the day as it's not my usual crochet but i'm working on my business card design & i need some input as to what's the best choice. :o)
see you on friday, happy wip day!
Warm socks sound nice now. It's getting cold here!
ReplyDeleteThe colour is lovely, and looks like you're making good progress - looking forward to seeing the finished article!
ReplyDeleteThe pattern beautifully shows off that gorgeous colorway of yours. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern too. The Gryffindor socks I made are one of my most comfortable pairs.
ReplyDeleteOoh... I love that sock pattern! I may just have to try socks again, maybe I'll actually make two socks this time instead of just the one.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I've had that favourited on Rav for a while, but you're definitely making me want to cast on. Sounds like they would make idea Christmas presents!
