It’s happening, people! The theme for the month of December is officially 🧦 SOCKS! 🧦

Get your finished socks entered into the theme contest. Post your WIP socks just because. Ask your sock questions. Start your first ever pair of socks and see how easy it is. Post your sock-related tips and anecdotes. Socks! Socks! SOOOOOOOCKS!

Yeah I know it's the third of the month already, but if you'd seen how ill I've been for most of the last two weeks you'd understand that I barely know where I am nevermind what date it is 😭

Still, if there's one thing that can ease my pain, it's the comfort of a drawer full of knitted socks!

Congrats to @weirdsquid@lemmy.world for submitting our most-upvoted baby + toddler project last month, this cute little toddler cowl!

As well as the theme switchover I am also very late on opting us in to the Lemmy Tagginator as discussed, mainly because I made that thread while half-conscious with covid and forgot all about it. Seriously. So ill. I am currently a complete shambles.

p.s. soooooooocks!

I can't help with the patching advice, sadly. Just posted my own socks for the theme, and they have a hole in so I'll be learning how to do this myself over the next few weeks!

Also have never used Fixation (I know, super helpful reply here). BUT every single other Cascade yarn I've ever used has been great and held up well, so tbh I'd be tempted to give it a go just based on past success with the brand. Definitely interested in a review if you do try it out!

Those socks at the bottom look so cozy omg, think it's the extra ribbing that just makes me think of winter and hot chocolate and all kinds of wonderful things. Nom nom nom 😄
