Ok so I finally took the plunge and I’m knitting my first pair of socks. Ever. I’m doing fingering held double because less stitches 😂

Pattern: DK Weight Vanilla Socks Yarn: locally dyed mering sock fingering

I’m following the vanilla socks on magic loop video tutorial by Crazy Sock Lady and it’s helped sooo much. I suck at understanding written instructions (probably because english is not my first lanuage) so seeing it done has made things much easier.

I can now totally understand why socks are such a big thing lol.

    Look at that heel turn! Like it’s no big deal at all! This is a lesson to all the other want-to-knit-socks-some-day-ers. Congrats!

    Also, I was editing together a “sock construction 101” video to help you and the others who wanted to dive in this month, but obviously covid has kind of ruined that plan, but I’m happy to see it wasn’t needed anyway and you’re just blasting through it 👏

      Thank you! You and others were right that it was somewhat easy and really like magic how it went from flat to tridimensional lol.

      The Crazy Sock Lady videos are super well explained and she covers a few methods of sock knitting, I definetely recommend her for beginners like me :)
