I don’t knit socks ;-)
One of the reasons is that if you feel you’re done, you still have a second sock to knit.
That’s no problem with the knit-two-socks-in-one-technique anymore.
Who knows, perhaps I even start knitting socks somewhen ;-))

I don’t knit socks!
But I liked the sock pattern generator nevertheless ;-)))

At first glance it may seem to be the wrong moment to knit socks with a spring pattern, but when do you miss spring most, if not in the first autumn days? ;-)
Besides I’ve just found the instruction and didn’t feel at all to wait for spring before presenting it ;-)))

There, aren’t the little ones real personalities? ;-)
Well, perhaps I will put some of these little ones on my balcony.
If I haven’t anything better to do with my socks ;-))

I already found the name Sock Sack absolutely great ;-))
And I like the idea, too.
With the baby sock a little mobile bag or a tiny purse? ;-)
Or do you prefer to work with ‘adult’ socks? ;-))

Na, doesn’t this sock necklace look great?! ;-)
And about the advent calendar: you can insert here easily little paper strips into the socks just as for the simple spool advent calendar and wham!, ready is your advent calendar ;-))
So, that’ve been the advent calendar ideas for this year, now you may begin…

There are people who knit socks (I am not one of them ;-)) and they can probably do with an extra foot ;-)
And cut always veeery careful…

Isn’t this simply elegant? ;-)
I liked the knitting patterns from the (appr.) 1940’s, it’s such a different style from today.
Anyhow I wont knit none of them – I would never be able to finish one of them ;-))
What I found funny: there is an instruction for a bedsock (search for ‘Spiral Bedsocks’), exactly like the Sock without Heel I presented before.

Here at unikatissima: Sock without Heel
I once read somewhere (but I don’t remember, where) that you can knit a sock without a heel if knitting a given pattern.
Therefore I tried it. I find the colours of the sock hideous, on the skein I still liked them, but here… ;-(
I won’t knit another sock.
Actually I should have it knitted higher up and it could have done with a cuff, but because I won’t wear it I restricted it to a Sneaker sock.
Anyhow, the thing about the given pattern is right: That’s how the sock looks like: flat ;-)
I began at the ‘cuff’ and at the toes I decremented by rule of thumb so not to get corners.
As for the pattern you alternately knit three, purl three stitches, every row the pattern is shifted one stitch.
The result is a kind of spiral rib-knit that makes the sock so elastic that it fits the foot all around very well.
