These are the second pair of socks that I’ve attempted to make. The first pair fit fairly well, but they are very bulky and definitely more suited to the winter season. These ones, however, are lighter and airyer (is that even a word?). I especially love the open lacy part of the sock.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m one of those people who likes having their feet in socks most of the time. Even in the dead of summer, when the temperature is well past 100 degrees in my hometown, I often wear socks to bed. I didn’t think that was weird until I talked to some of my roommates and discovered how much they dislike socks! One roommate told me that every time she wears socks she feels like they are suffocating her feet! So I’d love to know how you guys feel about socks….
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

Thank you so much Cait! =)
Thank you so much Laura! :)
Thank you so much Sabine! I haven't made socks in a while either, but seeing these ones again makes me want to start a new pair :)
I second that, yay socks! haha :) Thank you Ashley and hope you're doing well too!
Thank you! =)
Thank you so much Veena!! :)
Thank you! Phew, thanks for confirming that! ;)
Thanks Anisa! When we meet IRL, I'll teach you! :D
I totally love your socks. Actually I love any kind of socks :)
Hey you asked me about my picture's effects, so I always use Picnik.. or picnick.. I don't know, but is easy and free :)
See you!
Those socks are so lovely! I love socks, my feet are always cold so I always wear socks no matter what the season :)
You make socks, too?!?! I love 'em. I'm picturing them in all sorts of shades of white and off-white for autumn. You could SELL them, even.
I'm not in love with socks, but I'm a cold person, so I've come to like them because I always have to wear them. Plus I seem to stub my toes a lot if I'm not wearing them. Odd?
P.S. I'm taking Anatomy & Physiology (which I'm coming to realize isn't very tough at all) and "Concepts and Principals of Health Information Management" this summer. :|
you are sooo creative! these are gorgeous socks! I am more of a tights kind of gal, but in the winter I like to wear socks. when it's hotter, I get cranky and just throw them all over the place, cursing their warmth. hahaha.
Great job, Nnenna! I love the little pattern and the colour is wonderful. It's ages since I last made socks… I like making them, but not wearing them – but that's only because socks mean winter and no socks mean summer.
so cute!!
I'm totally a sock fan! All different colors, patterns and lengths. Yay socks!
Btw, love the beach photos of you!
Hope all is well, Nnenna.

you are SO good with those needles, girl! those socks are so adorable! and i agree, the color is a lovely one! as for me, i hate socks! lol.. i only wear them during the winter when my feet are cold inside my house.. but that doesnt last very long because i get too hot wearing them :) and i wear socks when i work out and thats about the only times i ever wear socks lol =P i hate the fuzzies stuck in between my toes and sometimes in it (ew)

Thank you Qin! =)
the socks are a lovely color.
Thank you! Me too, especially the really soft, fuzzy ones- those are the best! =)
Me too! hehe :D
Thank you so much Sabina and yes, they are! :D
Thank you so much! :)
Thank you Silvia! Socks aren't too bad- it took me a little while, but then I eventually got it and there's always You Tube for help when you're stuck! =) There are a couple of methods- you can either work with double-pointed needles or circular needles (I did these on circulars).
Oh, I might have to try that technique! Thanks Rosie! =)
Thank you Laura and thank you so much for following! I'll definitely check out your blog =)
Ohh I like the colour and sweet pattern/type of stitch? along the top of the socks. I love socks especially in winter. I especially love bed socks; the kind that are a cross btw slippers and socks. Warm and cosy.
i love socks! x
I can't wear socks while I sleep but even during the day, in the heat, I usually wear little half socks with my shoes – I can't stand bare, sweaty feet in the hot weather.

I like socks in the winter…but not in summer, hehe :) I used to HATE them until just last year though, haha

great job! i have never tried socks, thought they are quite difficould, don't? you have to work with 4 needles…i always try little things!
I love socks! I tend to wack loads of moisturiser on and then put on a big fat pair of socks overnight, which works wonders.
These look fab!

I admit — I hate socks! I don't know why. But these do look super cozy!

I love socks! I think they're best when they have bright colors or crazy patterns or are just pretty. Haha! What's the point of having a bunch of white socks? Hahaha! Although I like shoes that don't require socks most of the time. These are beautiful!
