Love your recommendations. And following your sock journey. I love knitting socks. I have 7 pair on the needles today, as I finished a pair yesterday. I have about 5 pair of finished socks. (I get all excited to knit socks, then another pattern catches my attention). Many of these patterns are already in my faves. I have several bundles of free sock patterns: Sport/DK socks, Striped Socks (for self striping yarns). Colorwork Socks, and Literary Socks. About 175 patterns so far. As for vegan yarn recommendations: Cascade Fixation is a 98% cotton, 2% elastic, Berrocco Comfort is 50/50 Acrylic/Nylon. Sesia Bio Bimbo is 100% organic cotton, and Yarn Bee Cozy Toes is 100% acrylic. I've not used any of these yarns, but I have a couple of skeins of Fixation. My daughter is using Cozy Toes now and it looks comparable to a wool knit sock. She has black w/neon stripes. I believe it's a 50 gram skein and runs about $4 a skein.
Ugh, sometimes I think I spend more time browsing patterns than I do actually knitting! Great video, and I added a couple more patterns to my favorites, so thank you for that. I'm a little embarrassed by how many of these have already been in my favorites for ages and yet I still haven't knit them, oops. But I'm currently knitting the Pair-a-normal socks, which are free (through Knitty) mosaic colorwork skull socks, and they are SO FUN oh my goodness!
so stoked on this. i have been going through a sock renaissance alongside you hahah. i recently saw a self-ghosting yarn that created a striped pattern with ghosts in-between... like??? pardon??? so cool.
Loved the roundup, my faves list is so long now (a good thing). I'm knitting a knocker, but I'm excited to cast on one of these patterns that you've shared 💖
To me, second hand animal products are vegan because you aren't directly contributing to their production. Loved the video. I have ordered my first sock supplies yesterday and I'm so excited to start. I just have to decide on a pattern. I was definitely inspired by your sock knitting!
@@knitty781 thank you, that's very nice. I will start with something simple, but all the options and opportunities for creativity are what I'm really curious about. So I look forward to discovering all the new techniques :)
I'm knitting brioche too. It's just a small part of a Stephen West shawl, but it's reaaaaaly giving me headaches. The yarn is almost spoiled by now, because I've started over so many times. But I still love the effect. I am a boring-sock knitter. I haven't tried a variety of patterns yet, but after seeing your video, I thought I must try something new.
So many sock patterns!! I just finished the purl soho ones for my grandma (she asked me for a sock to sleep with♥🧶) and I'm definetly going to knit them again. Also I did a little modification just because the ktbl pattern reminded me of a flower, so I did a knubb (k1 + *yo + k1* 5 times in the same st.) in the last pattern row. Also, I'm going to save this video and come back to look it up when I want to cast on the next sock. Thank you for doing a ravelry bundle!
I'm making pokemon socks for a friend. The designer is the same person who did the legend of Zelda ones. This is My first colorwork project and i had no idea colorwork took so long 😅😅
It grows slow but colorwork is so addictive. You start saying: Only one more row when you start seeing the color pattern, and then it becomes so difficult to stop!
What a great collection! I, too, spend WAAAYY too much time on Ravelry. (No I don't. Time browsing Ravelry is *never* wasted!) Next in my sock queue is also a free Ravelry pattern: Hermione's Everyday Socks by Erica Lueder.
I’ve never knitted socks before. I’m assuming if I want really short socks, I can just skip the ankle portion and go straight to the cuff, right? I can never find a no show pattern and I don’t want to knit socks I won’t wear. 😅
I think you should worry more about microplastics instead of making vegan socks tbh. There is wool which comes from ethically held sheep. They have to be shaved every year (otherwise they overheat) so it's as environmentally friendly and ethical as it gets. On the contrary, nylon in socks creates a lot of microplastics and it pollutes everyone's environment - not just the animals' environment. It's in our water, you breathe it in via shedding of your clothes and the list goes on.
Now I'm showing my age, but at one time there was a waiting list to get on to Ravelry. And the hours I've spend on there... Instead of knitting 🙄 Please just remember Ravelry is not an inclusive site. It is a migraine trigger for many people.
your sock binge has been inspiring me to do a sock binge and buying all this yarn isn't good for me but it also is so who cares
my favorite is the fleegle heel :)) and the turkish cast on :))
Thanks so much for the video! I just became obsessed with knitting socks too!

The grey and rainbow yarn that you mentioned I have seen in hobby lobby in the hand dyed section

I hope you enjoy your sock journey. There's something fascinating about sock construction. So many choices for such a small item.

Thank you for all the free socks I found several pairs I can’t wait to knit
wait i had that exact hurasco whatever yarn, half the ball looked blue the other half looked yelloweyer. It was awesome on vanillas!

The knitting queen has spoken 🙇🏻♀️
I really appreciate this video. I’m always looking for free patterns and I find Ravelry hard to navigate…
So many sock patterns!!

Great selection 👍 just Body socks are Spotty socks
Vegan? How about a cotton + bamboo + nylon/acrylic? It feels very silky.
Thanks for sharing. ❤
This Handmade Life has a bunch of really pretty sock patterns!

pokemon socks sound so cute!!
I have never knit socks the dpns scare me 😳 but listening to you makes me want to try!
Please tag these patterns in the description!!!!
There’s a link in the description to a “bundle” on ravelry, it contains all the pattern links ☺️
I only knit toe up taat socks.

Yes, just skip the leg/ankle part.
I'm taking a break from knitting this week to rest my hands. Big mistake watching a video with so many cute patterns! 💀
Every. Single. Day. I try to knit stockings! Every. Single. Day. I fail! I'm not giving up!

Good sock selection, just a tip-no need to use foul language it will turn off viewers
Now I'm showing my age, but at one time there was a waiting list to get on to Ravelry.
And the hours I've spend on there... Instead of knitting 🙄
