It is a fact of life that washing machines devour single socks. Where to with the remaining socks?
Onto the single socks holder ;-)

Colour Blends in Striped Socks
If you use different coloured skeins for socks the change from one colour to the other can look very abrupt also when using colour changing yarns.
She presents here softer colour blends in striped socks by slowly knitting more rounds of the old and less rounds of the new colour.
If necessary you can also use the previously presented jogless stripes knitting :)

Sock Heel Knitting
There seem to be countless ways to knit sock heels. I find one of the most interesting the subsequently knitted heel, where you simply knit at the right place with a scrap thread which will be taken away later and then you can ‘fill’ the opening.
If you don’t even like this heel, simply knit a sock without heel ;-)

Socks Knitting 101
I don’t knit socks.
However I find sock knitting somewhat fascinating and so I read the socks knitting 101 carefully.
But I didn’t knit it.
;-)
The little sock in the picture is by the way the test sock. An ingenious idea, to design a mini sock to test the socks knitting principles! :)

Everybody has those orphaned socks because washing machine or dryer were so gluttonous and I find the socks scarf and the socks gloves a cute idea to make something from the ‘surviving’ socks :))
