I wanted to try and knit a box of socks this year, I'm alternating knitting a pair for myself and a pair for Mark.
He's taken to wearing the ones I've knitted him more this past Winter so I know he will appreciate them.
These were finished in February and are knitted in the owl colourway by West Yorkshire Spinners.
I finished the pair for myself on Sunday.
This yarn was purchased a couple years ago from the Birmingham yarn show, I'm not sure now who the dyer was or the colourway name as there was no belly band, but It was lovely to knit with.
It looks like the colour is more concentrated in one sock from the photos, it's really not that noticeable In real life.
I used the Jemima sock pattern by Kay Jones, I've knitted this pattern a couple times before, I love the texture and how squishy it is.
So that's three pairs in the box already, and I cast on the fourth pair yesterday 😄

Nothing beats homemade socks through the cooler months.
They look lovely ... and I'm sure you'll have the fourth pair finished soon.
All the best Jan
Aah lovely hand knitted socks. I wonder how many will fit in the box. I have sufficient pairs so now I knit two pairs each year for Operation Coverup. I love the geometry of turning the heel.
What lovely socks and I really think you will have that box filled in no time at all.
God bless.
Wow ,you are the sock lady champ , Love them. Hugs June.
All look lovely, so how many will be needed to fill that box?
