Tag Archive for "Ragg Socks"
I finished a new pair of ragg socks knitted from leftover yarn. These multi colored ones I knitted for myself since it has been pretty cold here lately (temperatures down to -18 C). I use socks like these every day during the winter so it is nice to have many pairs.
Here is a picture of the ragg socks. I have used them for a few days so that is why they look a bit old 😉
Winter is getting closer and the air definitely has an autumn feel to it. It is about high time that I start getting ready for the colder seasons.
Today I started on some warm, black socks, or they are black so far. Who knows what kind of colors I will include later on (I love knitting without a strict pattern).
Here is a picture of how much I have knitted on the socks. The little blue spot on the socks is some leftover yarn I found on the floor. True recycling in practice 🙂
I finally finished the ragg socks for my friend Jone. I used way too long time on them (blogging taking up too much time), but I’m pretty happy with the result 🙂
In the heel and toe I used an extra blue thread for extra strength/longevity and I think it gave the socks more life.
My next project is some chaotic multi-colored socks so be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed 😉
My latest knitting project is a pair of ragg socks that I’m making for my good friend Jone. He helped me with designing the front page of my photo calender for sale over at Cafepress.
This kind of ragg socks are very typical here in Norway. I guess the reason is that we need something to warm our feet during the cold, long winter.
The socks are very easy to knit once you have remembered the design and it’s good way to use all your left over yarn.
Stay tuned to see the final socks.
