Please say hi to 2 Seoks! aka my knitting project for June.
Hehe, these are actually pretty hilarious; well, to me at least! but I probably should explain why;
so as mentioned previously I am a fan of BTS, and two of the members have the name Seok… pronounced “sock”. Namely Kim Seokjin and Jung Hoseok. In the fandom they are sometimes referred to collectively as 2 seok… anyway obviously I could not resist such a challenge! 2 Seok … as 2 socks!! haha, I’m giggling a little even now. #nevergetsold #ohboyineedalife
I designed them myself because there is, as yet, no knitting pattern for 2 seok socks… maybe I should write up this pattern and post it myself?! Anyway, I had in my, still very large, wool stash a ball of very fine gauge, pale pink yarn. I would have preferred white, or even pale purple for this project, but anyway, pink it was and so pink I had to use. I sketched out some pictures taken from online, some I thought were representative of Jin and Hobi, and made them into knitting charts.
I’ve momentarily lost my Hobi chart, but here is my Jin one… funnily enough, when I was knitting these I actually thought the Hobi one a better knitting design and the Jin one wasn’t going to turn out as well, but now they’re finished I feel like the Jin one turned out better.
I embroidered the designs in a purple-y pink yarn, leftover from these socks, and to introduce some sort of continuity to the socks, used the same yarn for the toe and heel sections. This is also a good idea, because it is a proper sock yarn, whereas the yarn I used for the body of the socks is really fine and probably not up to the wear and tear you need in these areas.
Fun fact; I actually started these socks back in May of LAST year, and only picked them up again this month. I know, I know. I think I no longer have any current projects on needles still, but I still have that big stash to go through. What to make next?! Don’t worry, I have plenty of plans!
oh, by the way: I took a picture of Theo wearing the cardigan I made for him back in February… I’ll go back and put this picture in its proper post, but for now, ta da! It gives my much joy to see him wearing it!
