Progress on the Banana Socks. I'm about halfway done with the first one. The pattern is normally top-down, but I prefer toe-up so I can try it on as I go. I'm working with about 82 stitches so I can get them on over my heel. As you can see from the photo, I have a very high arch and instep. Most tube socks are far too tight.
Being in the car for 17 hours this week was key to finishing this pair of socks so quickly.

Ponožky na výletě. Troufám si tvrdit, že je na něm nejspíš dopletu, poněvadž co jinýho taky, že jo...
I prefer summer with going barefoot or wearing sandals, but at least when it gets cold I get to wear boots and hand knit socks.
I don't enjoy knitting fine-gauge colourwork on DPNs, so I knit the cuffs/legs of these socks on the machine, then switched to hand-knitting for the plain stockinette feet. And of course, I blogged about it :)

Despite multiple issues with the way the pattern was written, I'm really happy with these finished socks! They're thick, squishy, and warm. (And yes, the legs are the same length when one sock isn't turned sideways.)

Po hodně dlouhé době dokončené ponožky. Inspiraci na vzor jsem našla tady na mastodonu, takže : Hle, jak inspirující prostředí!
Fotku jsem pořídila zrcadlovkou, a lehce upravila ve photoshopu. Úplně mi nevychází kompozice. Je to prostě jiné než mobil. Ale to pude! Co je hodně pozitivní, že mobil nedokázal zachytit tu krásnou starorůžovou, což zrcadlovka zvládla na první dobrou.

The show-off in the name refers to showing off your yarn, especially if it’s variegated. The pattern stitch is fun and easy and looks pretty in almost all yarns. In order to make the pattern more interesting, I used a different architecture - the gusset is knitted at the same time as the heel “flap” which is done in the main pattern stitch. Instructions for 3 different gusset patterns are included.
