Tag Archive: Sneaker socks


Ta-Da Tuesday


After months and so many tinks, nearly remaking these several times over, I finally finished my Sneaker Socks. These will bring back all the memories of the wedding and Wisconsin. I brought these and the hat I just finished a couple of days ago. The hat was helpful as it was easier and didn’t need the concentration these socks took. I constantly made mistakes and had to find my way back.

So comfortable!
Low enough for sneakers.

I didn’t think I’d like that ribbing in the foot area, but it feels like a foot hug. I love it! I may add that to future socks.

I know I’ve shared the tutorials before but these have helped me a lot!

She has a three-part knit along.

I followed most of it. But the bind off was too hard for me. Instead I went with my fav, Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind off. Even that had to be tinked and redone a couple of times.

Finishing Friday


The center section of the Afghan is nearly finished. My son is holding it up to show how long it is. I do have one side panel nearly as long. I still need to make yet another panel then sew up the three parts. For this mid section I’ve been using a size K ChiaoGoo Tunisian cable hook. I’ll be glad when this is done. I don’t like working on something this big.
When I just can’t crochet another moment I’m working on another pair of Sneaker socks. I need another half inch of this arch part. Ribbing is beginning to be more fun since working Continental. These are ChiaoGoo Red-lace Circular Needles 2.

I don’t have a pattern for the Afghan. Just the basic Tunisian Crochet stitch. It is getting boring, but I think it’ll be warm.

This is what I’m using for the socks.

Have a great weekend!

Finishing Friday


Another try at the Sneaker Sock.

This time I used the Turkish Cast-on. But since I think I understand the rest of the pattern now, I think I’ll give it one more try. The next stage is an arch ribbing to keep the sock snug.

I’m happy with the first pair but hope to improve. For the pattern and tutorial click back a couple days on this blog

Making Monday


With this much yarn in two skeins, I see a lot of Sneaker Socks. Toes already started.
5 miles in less than 30 minutes. Not by much but not bad for a Monday.

Those seem to be the highlights of the progress of the day. Except we’re nearly finished with all 15 seasons of ER. That should earn some prizes!🤣


One panel of the Tunisian Crochet afghan after several froggings and recrocheting. It is now as long as my legs. I need to do another identical panel then a double wide of a different colorway between these black and ivory hombre. For those who want to learn Tunisian Crochet, here’s the one I learned
My no-show Sneaker socks are nearing the dreaded heel. The pattern calls for something called a shadow stitch instead of wrap and turn. I plan to run a safety line before starting. If I flub too badly I’ll tink back and do the Fleegle Heel. Again here’s the tutorial I’m following for these.

I don’t think I did the arch 1 by 1 ribbing long enough. But I’ve learned my Continental knitting makes that stitch a lot easier than English (right-handed) ribbing. After much practice I can switch off so neither hand gets too tired.

My next pair of socks will be a stab at Fishlip socks. I bought the pattern. It seems complicated but folks seem to swear by it.

Tunisian crochet Afghan growing.
Decided to make these socks into no show sneaker socks. The pattern calls for ribbing in the instep to help with fit.
