Slightly Sloppy Socks
Sloppy because I made them a little too big through creative mathematics. Still, I like them so much that I wore them two days in a row.
I did them on the machine. That's why they're done so fast. There is a seam though. These never bother me, but still, I shy away from making this type of sock for other people.
There is a way to do them without the seam, but it is too fussy for me. Maybe, I'll tackle that technique in the future.

They look great! And quite comfortable!
Thanks @jamethiel! I really needed a fun project after that sweater.
What a nice color combination! I like it a lot :)
I like the contrast colours. Sloppy is good when you want to wear two pairs!
Lovely! I love the colour change in the main yarn and the contrast with the heels/toes/cuffs.
And done with a knitting machine!!! I did not know that this is possible, but I have generally no clue about these machines ... You will be my informer, if you buy one :-)
The socks look super nice and this seam would be no problem for me :-D I am curious how you made socks on a knitting machine?
I look forward to seeing what @akipponn does with a machine too! 🙂
Thanks @shanibeer! I hadn't even thought of wearing 2 pairs together! These would definitely work for the second layer.
It was fun to be playful again! Thanks! I think I overthought the project before this one. That one did make it into the show, and they displayed it very cleverly, so I breathe a sigh of relief. It does make me realize how caring too much how others will react to something I make is not helpful at all.
Thanks @neumannsalva! I was thinking about how I haven't done a how to post or a tutorial in a long time, so showing the process of knitting a sock on the machine is a good idea.
For me, the seams are imperceptible while wearing them. I know some people have sensitive feet though.
I love these happy and colourful socks, @kimmac.
My sister-in-law has made socks on her flat bed knitting machine with the seams like yours... I saw a video ages ago where you join as you go.
I haven't really done much short rowing - it makes me nervous I'll lose all the stitches :D
It would be great to see you in action so please tag me if you do a tutorial.
Thanks!
I will do a tutorial soon! I haven’t tried seaming as I go yet. I should try to learn more techniques.
Homemade socks are the best!🥰🧶
They really are! That's all I wear! 🙂
Love these!!! 😍
Thanks @crosheille! 🙂
