Autumn socks

I've knitted two more pairs of socks this autumn. They are both very basic socks. I would like to knit something more elaborate, but in the end I just make something uncomplicated. Maybe the next pair will have something special.

This pair I finished last, it's made of Maija and a self-striping yarn I don't remember

This pair is made of Regia Cotton stretch
I think I'm gonna give both pairs to somebody for Christmas, haven't yet decided to whom. They are both approximately 38-39 in size.

Brownies

I started these socks when we had a knitnic last time, seven brothers yarn seems to be a hit this summer!

Dad´s socks

These socks I knitted for my dad for summer. Seven brothers again, not very summery, I admit :-) But they are a bit shorter than the winter versions...

Socks for charity

These were my charity socks earlier this year. All of them 7 brothers of Novita, basic sock patterns.

Socks for my sister

I knitted these socks for my sister for her birthday. The yarn is Schoeller Stahl's Fortissima Socka and I used 2½ mm needles. They are just basic socks, but the colors are nice and my sister's favorite colors.

Pippi Socks


I got inspired by the colors of my Seven brothers and decided to do crazy stripey socks. The stripes are made at random, but I think the end result looks kind of cool. They actually remind me of Pippi Longstockings.


I think this is the sixth pair of socks I've made this year, so I'm not even halfway through this year's challenge.

Correction: this is my seventh pair, so I am over halfway through.

Train socks

I knitted two pairs of baby socks for a charity. The socks are given to newborn babies in the local hospital. The pattern is called Train Socks, the yarn is Sirmione sock yarn, and I used 2½ mm needles. One pair was actually knitted during a train ride from Vaasa to Rovaniemi and back.
