My first pair of socks is complete, and I am officially addicted to socks. Color work and socks for the first time in the same project is a bit crazy, but I learned a lot. My next pair I plan on making a more vanilla sock to really get my fit down.

Pattern is Coffee Break by Stoneknits, knit up in Malabrigo 341 Neverland and Ritual Dyes Maiden in Loam with white scrap yarn.

They certainly aren’t perfect but I’m proud for my first go around! I’m a long time lurker and I’ve been so inspired seeing everyone’s knits — I figured I’d toss mine in too!

Why does the right side of all my socks look like this? Am I using an incorrect technique?

Fleegle heel socks from Summer Lee’s The Sock Project.

The blue and purple pair is a plain vanilla sock without pattern, and the spiral one is based on the westknits spiral splash socks (but I didn't like the fit and construction of the original, so I made it a toe-up sock with boomerang heel).

Love them both :)

Ah and both a featuring a double/ folded ribbing, as I found that these do not stretch out so easily as others (can't have wobbly ribbing 🤗)

Off now to a second pair of spiral splash but this time I'll make it a horseshoe heel version :)

I'm super excited about finishing my first pair of knitted socks!

Pattern: Vanilla socks by Crazy Sock Lady.

The first sock was done with magic loop, the second with 9" circulars. Because my tension was a bit loose, the first sock is huge after blocking 😅

Still, these socks were about the learning process for me! Onto the next pair 💜

Pattern is Whozit from Socks à la carte 2 Toes Up. Yarn is Panda Superwash in Leaf Shades

Hey folks,

I hope this is okay — I am super new and do not have a human in real life to ask. I am working the Crazy Sock Lady’s vanilla sock on 9” circular pattern. I am on the heel flap, and the pattern has you alternate a row pattern of S1K1, and then S1 purlwise, purl remaining of row.

I just completed a purl row. I had realized I had accidentally knitted an extra row at the end of my pattern a few rows back, and thought I could just drop it off. Well I’m now back to the right number of stitches, but edge is wonky. I tried to keep knitting but realize that will leave a hole.

I’m not sure how/what to google to fix this. It’s not quite a dropped stitch? It’s like I haven’t worked this end row, and need to purl in at least one row.

Any input? I can always tink back but I’m trying to get better at fixing mistakes. Even just direction on what this error is called would be so helpful. I can run with that and deep dive fixes.

Thanks sock friends

First time knitting socks and first time using DPNs. I followed Crazy Sock Lady’s Vanilla Sock tutorial and I’m completely taken aback by the results. I’ve knitted a few projects before but none have been as successful or as addictive as this. This will be the first of many!

Thanks for all the inspiration on this subreddit!

I only learned to knit socks last year but I've been a bit obsessive with it. Trying new skills and different ways to knit socks. Anyway despite having learned a lot and still having loads more to learn (looking at you colour work socks) here's what I've knitted so far this year

1- Vanilla is the new black in WYS wood pigeon

2- Popular in WYS candy floss (think?)

3- DK vanilla sock by crazysock lady - yarn is by gamer crafting but I can't remember the colour way

4- Cornicette Socks in yeah coops knits malachite and I can't remember the other one

5- Half & Half only I ignored the pattern (I didn't purl across the top of the sock) and added the triangles from a colour doodle deck in dye candy Kevin and surprisingly I can't remember the name of the blue sock yarn.

6 - I didn't really use a pattern? I was trying to figure out the afterthought heel using summer Lee's book. Lesson learned as the foot is a tiny bit short. Yarn is blue fern yarn peach sorbet and the heel and toe is a mini from a different sock set

7- vanilla is the new black in jasmine

Other lesson learned is : it's great saving yarn tags if the safe place I put them was somewhere I could remember.

Got these done in a fortnight which is fast for me. Shearwater sock pattern with my preferred heel and toe. Yarnsmiths merino sock wool in colourway "Windbreak." Knitted TAAT using magic loop.

I finished up my second pair the other day. My tension got better as I was going so the second sock (bottom) turned out better and a little tighter. I’m so pleased with them. They’re sisters, not twins.

I used this pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/basic-ribbed-socks with Patons Kroy sock yarn.

This was my first fingering weight sock; I made the crazysocklady DK vanilla socks first.

Bambu Raggi by Järbo, fingering weight on 2.5mm needles, with eye of partridge heel and princess sole.

The lace I had to figure out in steps, and I frogged (in screaming frustration a couple of times >.>) it several times, to make the columns of eyelets line up, and the motif to be centered. But I did it, and I now understand lace a lot better!

I don't know if this allowed but I getting desperate.I bought this yarn bag several years ago on Etsy, just before she closed her shop. It has 2 grommets and just fits 2 50 gram balls of sock yarn, about7 inch wide and about 3 inches deep. I have finally found bags in the same shape but the smallest I can find are sized for for much bigger balls of worsted yarn

And yes, he is wearing these in 98-degree weather!
