I feel like this should be here. Amazing repair!

She’s a little ugly, full of holes, and a little loose but I’m so proud of her! This was my first knitting project coming from the crochet world. It took me just over a month to complete because I am learning. I learned so much from this one sock I Can’t wait to cast on the second sock and complete my New Year’s resolution of knitting a pair of socks!

My mom kept my feet nice and warm in snuggly wool socks for the past twenty-five years. Since losing her very recently, I decided to finally learn to knit socks, in her honor, and so that my four-year-old can also enjoy (hopefully) decades of handknit socks. I have a bunch of mini-skeins of sock yarn from several years of indie dyer advent calendars, and my kid LOVES mismatched, crazy-color sock. So I did my first sock as a swatch sock, to figure out gauge, etc. It's not perfect, but I still love it! I used Tin Can Knits' Bestie Socks pattern.

Hi I'm making a christmas gift for a person (F) in EU size 38. I need measurements from someone this size plzzzz

Or maybe you know a chart for eu sizes with circumference and length ?

Thankssss [Edit : thank you for your help ! :) ]

Did you start preparing socks for Christmas yet?

Just started heel flap of second sock when this came along. Best suggests please.

Hello, I love reading all your tips and tricks. I'm coming in need of help with this little beauty from Earthtones Girl (link below - at the first part of the video).

I am a longtime knitter, but this is the first try at colorwork. I thought that this little sock would be a good way to start learning. I still think it is, but having a time with it. I am also including my snowflake chart so you can see what I am talking about. What is the best way to go about changing colors and floats. There is a snowflake on each side of the sock leg. I am knitting this side of the round with 11 sts. white, 1 red, then 12 white. Then I am to do the same on the second side (Magic Loop, btw). What is the best way to get red going on the other side of the sock? My first try I was just going to have one ball white and one red. That didn't work. Too much floating. My next thing to try is to have a strand of red for each side. Is this correct?

Another thing is, for example: on rnd 4, I K10 white, 3 red and there I leave red and finish row with white. On rnd 5, red is all the way over to st. 5. Is that ok to float that far (and just catch it in the middle on the next rnd)? The sock isn't going to be worn so won't get caught, but I want the back to at least look decent. So far, I have restarted snowflake about 3x and end up with a mess Lol. Any advice would be very much appreciated. TIA

For those of you who make a lot of socks, are you really drying them flat all the time?

If you can’t be bothered to dry flat, do you pay attention to the drying instructions on the labels for super wash yarns, or just go for it and assume they can be dried in the dryer (on low)?

I have enjoyed the socks I’ve made so far, and want to make more, but I haven’t found all that many sock yarns that allow for machine drying.

I am outrageously pleased 😁🍾

This is the Wise Hilda's Basic Ribbed Sock done on 2.5mm needles in size Small using Biscotte self-striping yarn (85% merino 15% nylon) in the colourway Bis Sock Groovy bought while on vacation in Montréal. 45g left from the 100g so maybe some shorties?

Hello. My goal for the day is to finish weaving in all the loose ends in these socks.

The pattern is Lopi Sweater Socks from
Summer Lee’s booked titled “The Sock Obsession.” I used four different colors as called for in the pattern but did modify the pattern a bit. The pattern called dor a rolled hem at the cuff but I omitted that. I had a limited amount of the pink yarn so I knit until the pink yarn ran out, used a contrasting color for the toes, then inserted an afterthought it heel at the end.

Various brands of yarn:
Palmer Yarns (pink)
Madeline Tosh (blue and beige)
Stunning String Studio (brown)

Made from Opal Gray and Activ Rainbow

Made these socks from Charming Colorwork Socks by Charlotte Stone. Did the second size. I'm not very happy about how the colorwork turned out, some stitches just look too big, there is a bit of bunching going on in some places. If anyone has any tips I would be very thankful. I really like how colorwork socks look but need way more practice for them to look as good as what I see on this sub.

I’m making these vanilla socks with Patons Kroy self striping sock yarn (Mexicala stripes colorway - I don’t care for it but my gift recipient does) and look! I matched up the colors for the heel so precisely they will be twins, not just sisters. I don’t count rows for heel flap and gusset socks, I make the heel to measure, so this is usually really hard to do for me but it worked out so well.

Also yes the recipient has the longest instep I’ve ever seen 😂

Same yarn, same batch, different balls.

I generally knit two socks together but on their own set of dpn's. The sock on the left is exactly what the little sample on the label shows. The sock on the right has a much more defined diagonal, that got broader after turning the heel. The (short row) heels look the same in both socks.

This was supposed to be a pair, but because they're so different and the balls are 100g each, I'll probably make a second sock for each of these and try to plan the pooling this time.

My third pair of socks! I loved this Mossy Path sock pattern. The repeating motif was easy to memorise and simple to knit. It was a great introduction to cabling. I made them on 2.25mm Chiagoo DPNs. The wool is Sally Ridgway 4-ply Supreme Sock in Blue Denim. Next time I’ll make the leg section longer. It feels so great to have finished a project, and so great to wear them!

I really can not get my sock to fit nice and get it over my heel. My heel is 5 cm wider then my leg, usually I use a 56 stitch count, 60 does not fit (and can not find a pattern with cuff only 2 colour colourwork that goes to 64 and back)

Worked inside out already, my fingers can not handle shorties and went back multiple times. As soon as I go past 3 rows of colourwork it just gets stuck.

Any tips?

Learned a few things:

-DPNs are great but flexible DPNs are better
-managing floats is tricky at first but once you get the hang of it, you’re golden
-Fish Kiss Lips Heels are confusing at first but they’re really pretty
-I got the hang of English knitting as I figured out managing two strands of yarn. I normally knit continental.

Off to sock number 2!

For the first sock my colours were generally pretty nice and random but for the second sock there is obvious pooling starting. Same yarn (being pulled from the same direction), same stitch count, same needles. Does anyone know how this happens? Is there anything I can change or should just embrace that my socks will be sisters and not twins? Thanks!!

This is my first time knitting socks or knitting at all.(I knitted popcorn Yarn but that's not much)

I didn't know fixed circular needles help me alot. I tried before with normal needles and magic loop with circular needles but I didn't understand at all. I gave up knitting few years ago, and then I got fixed needles. I don't mind knitting fine yarn now. It's so fun to knitting socks🐷

The top green stitch marker I thought I had marked as the start of my toe but it feels as the decreases actually didn’t start until the green. Trying to make my second sock now and I’m conflicted how to match up.

A while ago I posted here about being afraid to start the heel on my first sock. Well, after all your kind words and advice I did it! Started over with new yarn, and finished my first pair of socks 🥳 First two pictures are my very first pair, 3th and 4th picture the first sock of my second pair I am working on now ☺️

Thank you all so very much for your help!! ❤️
