anissa Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I'm impressed. I tried teaching myself to knit...it wasnt pretty. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Before you say anything, I know that they do not match. There is a reason for that. I never wear matching socks, so why knit a matching pair? This is exactly why you knit your own! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secular_mom Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Those are great! I am very intimidated by the thought of knitting socks. So far I've done scarves and dishcloths. I think your socks are wonderful, and bravo to you for taking on such a project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pooh bear Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 I'm so jealous!!! I want to learn to knit socks. Did you teach yourself or take a class? They are so nice!!!!! I taught my self. I watched some videos and took the plunge. I did know how to knit already; my nan taught me many, many moons ago, but I have not really ever knit anything apart from a very long scarf.

Peela Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Congratulations! And with Fair Isle as well? Amazing. I buy sock wool that does the fair isle for me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwlKnits Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Great job!! I knitted DD a pair of socks and swore I'd never do it again. People who can knit socks, are good at it (like you!), and like knitting them amaze me... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinder Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Before you say anything, I know that they do not match. There is a reason for that. I never wear matching socks, so why knit a matching pair? Congrats! I remember that feeling of finishing my first pair. Actually, today I threw out that first pair. :crying: As to non-matching socks, I'd heard that one way to avoid second sock syndrome is to knit both socks in different patterns but same yarn so they sort of match. That's supposed to keep the boredom factor at bay. Haven't tried it yet, though I was tempted to after completing my first Pomatomus sock.

LibraryLover Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Nice. You must be a good knitter. Socks are not easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justamouse Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Ohh I love them! Socks are where I really let my mood for the day show so I have them in all whackadoo colors. Beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeOrchidSong Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I am planning to learn to knit socks. While in college my first knitting project ever was a sweater for my boyfriend. I knitted some very simple scarves. Now I need to learn to knit socks. My son always wants me to knit. Maybe I should take a sock knitting class offered by community ed. I have a hard time reading the American knitting books, though. Otherwise I would purchase a book and follow the pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Bravo! I am still working on my first pair of socks--taking a sock knitting class--but mine are so basic compared to yours. Doublepoints for me since I find the Magic Loop concept to be terrifying. Very impressive work, Pooh Bear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Great Job! What type of yarn did you use? I think knitting socks is addicting. The thing I like is you can buy really expensive yarn and not cringe too much because you don't need much. Don't be scared of the dpns though, they are really fun to use (and look cool too).
