Sport socks

As I've shown you in this post I was yarn crafting a lot the last weeks. :)

One project on the top of my todo list were sport socks for my boyfriend, which I started to knit about a year ago. :)

I already finished the first sock last year, but it got too short at first and when I redid the end it got too long. After this I ran out of steam and put the project aside (I think it was also based on all the socks I've already knitted before that year).

This year I started to redo the first one. But I bought too little yarn last year and when I wanted to buy a second ball of wool in my local shop they didn't had the same wool. So I bought two balls of another wool and started right from the beginning and knitted two brand-new sport socks, which I'm now proud to present. :D



Have you tried knitting socks? I would've never thought how easy it is! At least the boomerang heel socks. :D I plan to knit some socks as christmas presents this year. ;)

  1. I can't believe you made that! It's almost too perfect and neater than what I expected handmade will be! Your boyfriend is a lucky guy!
    I've never knitted in my wholelife! It looks fun though!

    1. It only looks so neat on the pictures. In reality it isn't. ;)
      It's kind of exhausting with such thin wool, so next time I'll try some with thicker wool. :D

    1. Last year was also the first year I managed to finish a pair. I always start new knitting projects and almost never finish them. ;) One day I really want to knit a whole sweater! :D

  4. Woooow these are awesome! My husband would love it if I would knit him some socks, but it always seems so intimidating to me. Way to go. :-)

    1. Die Wolle hat mein Freund ausgewählt. :) Ich hätte ja schon gern was Buntes genommen, aber er wollte eine Farbe, die er auch tatsächlich an Spieltagen tragen kann. ;)
      Du solltest es echt mal ausprobieren, es ist wirklich nicht zu kompliziert! :)
