@@julsbendandi9374 agreed! I’ve had starry night in my head for years! Maybe I’ll finally give it a go soon! Thank you for watching! And happy knitting! 🧶
I enjoyed this episode. I am healing from tendonitis in my wrist, so my knitting is very limited but I am (and have always been) really attracted to sock knitting. No, I've never heard of the kite heel before, though I have seen that pattern. It's very intriguing. Just now, I googled "kite heel socks" (or something similar) and found a thread on Ravelry. It's pretty rare, but it seems that it was used before. Thanks for the heads up on Yucca. I've added her to my "favorite designers" list. I also purchased Summer Lee's sock subscription when she launched it, but haven't used it yet. It's interesting that two of my *favorite* sock patterns didn't appear on any of your lists: Hermione's Everyday Socks (also free) and Nancy Wheeler's Titygaga socks. Every year Nancy creates a "boob themed" pattern (it's very subtle) and the proceeds for the first month go to breast cancer research in Canada. She also has free patterns for knitting prosthetic boobs for mastectomy patients. This evening I cast on Kay Jones' (of the Bakery Bears) Fairground Socks. Kay has said that all her teenaged daughter wants are Fairground socks. I like to use self striping yarns, and this pattern is great for that. Anyway, thanks muchly! I've subscribed...
Oh! Another pair of socks I really want to knit is Mermaid Waves by Amy of Three by the Sea Designs; it's for sale on her Etsy shop. She lives near Tampa. I contacted her the night of Helena and they (she, her mom, and her sister) were ok then, but I hope that continues to be true!
Yes that “Y” shaped heel is lovely. If you are inspired , look for the work of Cat Bordhi, who sadly is no longer with us. She discovered you can put the increases anywhere in the ankle/ heel region and the sock will fit. This has spurred many new, wonderful sock designs. She has 3 sock ebooks on this topic.
Great sock list! Thanks for sharing. I didn't know the story behind Socktober either. I'll add some socks to our town's blessing boxes this month. For putting colors together, I have found Pinterest color boards very helpful. All you have to do is ask for, as an example, "color combos with forest green," and pinterest will magically populate your screen with hundreds of color palettes that include forest green.
@@knittielynnie oh that makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for doing that! And that’s a really good idea for using Pinterest to help with color palettes. I do often save color palette idea to boards but then I never think to use them to help me pick out yarn. Thank you for drawing my attention to this! Such a great idea!!!
Great list! The socks are all so pretty! I go in and out of sock knitting mojo. But when I have the urge, one of my favourite pattern designers who has a lot of beautiful sock patterns is Fox & Folk! I test knitted for her Baranduin sock in the spring and that got me really interested in the rest of her sock pattern! They're gorgeous!
@@galanthusknits oh, I hadn’t heard of her but I love her designs. I just added the Barbadian socks to my ravelry list. So lovely. Thank got for the suggestions!
Try checking out sweet Georgia's new colourway eclipe collection they do sell it in a mini skien set it might be the colours your looking for. All their regular tough love sock skiens are also currently on sale for socktober as well hope this helps. Happy knitting from canada.
Hey Bekah! :) Your video was in my recommendations and I like your style and how you organized the different patterns. I'm currently working on my second Riihi sock by Ronja Hakalehto. All sock patterns from Karolina Adamczyk are beautiful. Starry Night might look a bit daunting but I'd recommend you just give it a go :) Colorwork is often easier than it seems (especially when you know how to work with a chart). Greetings from Leipzig!
@@fairlyme8676 oh thank you for watching! Greeting from the Hauptstadt! ❤️ Oh, the Riihi sock looks amazing. I’ve added it to my list for later. And thank you for encouraging me to just go for it! I’ll add the starry night socks to my winter make nine! ❤️
@@WorldOnAString ah, thank you! It’s the Provence top by this cosy nest. Such a lovely pattern!!! I have an episode all about both versions I made if you’re interested. :)
Lovely video! I am currently knitting two pairs of socks, the Mermaid Avenue by Summer Lee, and the Pumpin & Spice socks by This Handmade Life. I am trying to get these done asap, because I really want to cast on the Autumn Cottage socks by The Kiwi Lodge. A wonderful autumn pattern, but full colourwork. Which is indeed sooooo scary! Please let us know when you knit a sock with mohair held together! I'm so curious!
@@isablue7410 oh both of those are just so lovely. And to the pumpkin spice socks are just perfect for October! I’ve added them to my list, thank you mentioning them. And yes, I will definitely update once I start my mohair socks! I’m thinking it’ll be a lovely December project! Thanks for watching ❤️
You've solved you Color Palette Sock color palette problem-Dye gradient colors...start with short exposure and for lighter color and just leave each "color" in longer than the last....
@@pmclaughlin4111 ah, that is such a good idea! Can’t believe I didn’t think of this, but thank you for mentioning it! Will definitely try in the new year!!! ❤️
Thank you for sharing all the nice sock pattern, I saved a few of them. Regarding colorwork socks, I signed up in que at the library for the book ‘Charming colorwork socks’ by Charlotte Stone ❤ br @nadiawind
@@Cozyknittingcorner oh that’s a good idea to check my local library. This book is on my list for sure! Live everything Stone Knits designs. Thank you for watching! ❤️
Thanks for sharing about the history of Socktober! I’ve been a knitter foreeeever and didn’t know the roots.
@@Ocean-Gecko I was also surprised I hadn’t heard people mention it before! But I’m glad we’re learning together. :)
You have excellent taste in sock patterns! I'd love to see a similar list of your favorite sweaters
@@courtneychurch8705 thank you so much! Thats so kind of you! ❤️ and yes, I’ll have to plan one of those for winter!
Wow! They were all gorgeous but… Starry night is going to keep me awake! I LOVE THEM!! Thank you for this list! Let‘s get knitting! Wooooooooot! ❤

@@Dianasdorta oh that sounds amazing! I’m definitely going to look into that. What a creative concept!
Oh, man, did I love Cat. I intended to go on her Iceland tour and then I heard she had died.
