Socks... Handknitted socks. How many times have I commented on other blogger posts saying that I had never tried to knit socks. In fact I tried, at the end of last year, and failed - it was bad, so bad that I could not feature the project on the blog.
I needed to get over this epic fail and try again. This time I decided to follow a pattern to the letter - same yarn, needle size and even similar colour coordination. Not leaving a lot of room for another failure. This year (month? - ok maybe not) I will have knitted my first socks. It is written on this blog, and therefore it will happen - and I will have cute pictures of handknitted socks on my feet.
And you know what, I cannot wait!
Yay! I cannot wait either! And the grey and white is a personal fave, looks awesome.
ReplyDeletehandknit socks are such a luxury, they look like they're going to be beautiful & squishy !!
ReplyDeleteThey look great so far! You can do it. Can't wait to see your new socks.
ReplyDeleteLookin' good so far! I love the grey and white together.
ReplyDeleteOf course you can do it! Have you searched on Youtube yet for instructions on knitting the heel and gusset, that's what got me through it! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteLooks grat so far! I use Churchmouse Yarns basic sock pattern. Love it
ReplyDeletesocks, my first two pairs knitted up huge even though I made the toe length shorter. My husband wears the ones knitted for me! The socks for my daughter were knitted to the same instructions but on a much smaller needle size - perfect and really firm rather than soft which she likes. But ..... will I always only be able to knit socks for her?????? Have to have another go.
ReplyDeleteOohhh so exciting! I love handmade socks, they are so pretty. Should you enjoy it I will pay you to make me a pair ;)
ReplyDeleteso far, so good!!! (BEWARE: socks are terribly addicting. If you want to avoid the sock-addiction, you better stop now.)
ReplyDeleteThis color combo is so cool!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! Once you get your first pair of socks out of the way, the rest are gravy!
ReplyDeleteamazing!! I'm not a natural sock knitter either, perhaps this is the year of the sock? They look like they will be very cozy.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a year of the sock!!! I am yet to try one as well!
ReplyDeleteI think everyone's first attempt at socks is disastrous; I usually make all the mistakes on one, so I have lots of odd pairs of one good/one bad. They'll be super cosy when they're done; just think how grateful your feet will be! :)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHave fun - they look marvellous already :)
ReplyDeleteI can see from the photos they are going to be gorgeous :)
