My friend Teresa walked me through grafting the toe with Kitchener stitch, and my first sock was done!
I haven’t started the second yet, because I’m working on a couple of projects that have a deadline. But I’ll cast on for it soon, and I’m (dare I utter these famous last words?) looking forward to it, and I can’t wait to give my kid his first pair of hand-knitted socks.
Sock heels are amazing, you guys. I love how this one is a happy rainbow.
Owen grabbed the skein and begged me to make him socks with it. I couldn’t deny him! And thanks about the heel. :)
Good For You !
:D
Great job! However, the sooner you start with the second – the better! I keep forgetting how I made first and then knitting the second is … uh … less fun? :) Carina.
Beautiful sock! The only thing that surprises me is that you hadn’t made one before this. :-)
:) I’d taken a sock-knitting class, and made an impossibly tiny one. But this is my first human-size one.
My daughter has a hat made in the same yarn and it’s so BRIGHT and happy, we love it.
That is one nicely turned heel.
