I have knitted 3 socks so far in Cascade 220 with size 7 dpns in the Socks101 trainer sock pattern.
Here's all 3
The first one I attempted was pretty off. LOL I didn't understand knitting into the back of the loop, I screwed up my round count and well I got this itty bitty screwed up looking thing. Here's a bit of a close up.
The second one came out MUCH better. However it was not to the pattern specs again. I knitted a couple of extra rounds here and there but the heel turn looks alot better! I did the knit into the back of the loop thing on it. I do like it better than the first.
The third sock was knit Wednesday night. I didn't knit in to the back of the loop on at the heel turn and I know why you have to now! There are holes all along where I picked up the stitches and that's Okay I guess. Lesson learned. This one was knit to the specs of the pattern to the T except the knit into the back thing.
I like knitting socks. All 3 socks took be around an hour each. They are small that's the reason. LOL I am going to continue this journey into the land of socks so that I can further my skills as a zen knitter. LOL
What do you think? Think I'm getting the hang of it? I sure do!
XOXOXOXO
the socks look great!!

ReplyDeleteI don't have your email addy (blogger sucks on comments), so I left you this reply on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI have found that I like circulars and dpn's equally as well. Circulars are definitely the thing to use to try them on for fit. They certainly are as fast as dpn's, but sometimes I get tired of dropping the spare needle....lol. The only time I still HAVE to use dpns exclusively is for the heels. I still have trouble with heels. Doing the heels with dpn's (for me) is easier and I don't get so confus-ED.
You've got just enough for a three legged baby now!!! YAY!! Now if only the sock bug would bite me! It's tried a few times but my repellent is strong :)
