My Favorite Everything Sock pattern is now live on Ravelry. Sock knitting is not just fun, sock knitting is practical. You have a great pair of well-fitting comfortable socks at the end of the process. When I created My Favorite Everything sock pattern, I selected each component based on my personal preferences. The Cuff is 1x1 twisted rib. It is a little tighter than a 1x1 rib, and twisted rib has a nice clean look. ...
My first package from the wonderful Woolens & Nosh yarn club was from October, 2023, and since it was my first, I wanted to make something special with it. So I decided to knit a pair of socks using all of my favorite components. The yarn base is great. It’s 90% superwash Targhee and 10% Nylon, and it is a delight to knit with.

And this was my motivation to knit the socks. The gift recipients picked the yarn and pattern. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize you can’t buy the pattern. You can only get the pattern through a proprietary iOS app called Knitrino. This may work great for some folks, but I wouldn’t say I liked the experience and will not knit these again. However, it is a simple toe-up sock and slip-stitch pattern, so it is easy to replicate outside the proprietary app. ...
