Let's knit some really cute socks together

I bought this gorgeous yarn from @sinceresheep at I bought this gorgeous yarn from @sinceresheep at the SoCal Fiber Fair a couple years ago and have been trying to find the perfect project for it ever since. I finally settled on knitting up my next version of the 15 Knots Hat.

I only had about 150 yards to work with, though, so I had to get a little creative and be a little bit gutsy.

Have you joined the knit along yet? The conversation is popping over my Facebook group, and this fundraiser for @sailingmom2la28 has brought a lot of joy.
They say most people aren’t getting enough fiber o They say most people aren’t getting enough fiber on a daily basis, and while I’m not sure this is exactly the kind of fiber they mean, I’m always happy to help!

All three of these knitting patterns are available on their own or as part of the Golden Honey Sock Club. Come join the fun!
The third pattern in the Golden Honey Sock Club is The third pattern in the Golden Honey Sock Club is now available, both as part of the club and as a standalone pattern. Sock club members, check your inbox for your update.

I am so in love with this design that I was too scared to take the sample with me up to Flock last weekend. What if I lost it? What if I spilled something on it? So it stayed here at home, ready for its debut.

If you’re not ready to cast on a new pair of socks yet, favoriting the pattern and adding it to your queue on Ravelry is a great way to boost its visibility! That helps other people find it, too.

And if you are ready to cast on, just comment “sock pattern” and I will send you a link to the Ravelry page. Looking forward to seeing all the different versions that you all make!
One of the things that kind of annoys me about Fle One of the things that kind of annoys me about FlexiFlips and Flyers is that the flexible cord in the middle means the needle flops around a lot at certain points in the sock knitting process. With the rigid bend in these needles, that’s less of an issue.

Now that being said, I don’t think these are the perfect knitting needle style for me for other reasons, primarily that they are not strong enough or sharp enough for the type of knitter I am, but they might be the right choice for you!

Have you seen somebody using these needles before? Have you tried them yourself? Are you curious to try them? Let’s chat!
