Hand Knit Wool Sock Weather Returns!

AllUnwound.com hand knit orange sock We had a stretch of unusually warm weather for a couple of weeks. Happily this week the cooler weather has returned. Now it’s cool enough to wear hand knit wool socks again.

This is one of my favorite pair. I purchased the yarn from this indie dyer, LolaDoodles. Sadly she no longer sells on Etsy. She was easy to communicate with. It’s the “classic sock” blend. I knit these socks using the pattern Emily’s Atmosphere Socks. I found it on the crochet and knitting site Ravelry.

Normally I don’t wear my hand knit socks with my sneakers, wearing exercise socks with them instead. Tonight I’m going to be walking outside just to get from place to place, if you can imagine that! So hand knit socks will keep me warm and comfortable. I also plan to wear a hat and a cowl of my own design.

What hand knits are you wearing around town this week?

Mobius Scarf Pattern Creation

I have seen a few Mobius or continuous scarves and decided I’d like to knit one. Of course I wanted to create my own pattern and thought looking at other people’s patterns or videos first would be “cheating.” So I happily did the math and figured out how many stitches to cast onto my circular…

Creating a New Cowl Pattern

Cowls are a type of scarf. Sometimes called Gators/Gaitors or Endless Scarves they pull on over your head and you never have to worry about them falling off or unwinding. No bulky scarf ends to fit under your jacket either! This cowl is being knit with a lovely yarn I received as a gift, MadelineTosh…
