Socks

I have always been interested in learning how to knit socks, but never finished a pair until recently. It took some learning, and realizing I much prefer DPNs to circular needles.

I have really enjoyed making them and definitely plan to make more pairs in the future! I'd love to learn colorwork to create some patterns eventually

Here is my first pair! Knitted top down with DPNs following this tutorial. The creator also has a tutorial for 9" and with the magic loop method, but I much prefer DPNs even though I thought they would be fiddly at first.

These socks were easy to work up, I could do it when walking or on the bus without issue which I very much enjoyed. The yarn color looks quite good, and now I just want to find tons of pretty yarn colors to make all of my pairs of socks!

The picture shows them unblocked. I'll try to block them but I don't have the materials currently. I have learned a lot, especially with the ribbing which is a bit wonky on the first sock, and they're a bit too big, but that's how you learn!
