A tale of two (pairs of) socks - Lemmy.World

The brown sock is my first ever. What is wrong with the picture? Yes, the sock is inside out. I could not figure out how to kitchener the toe, so I just cobbled it together. The lightbulb moment came when I was knitting my second pair of socks. No wonder the kitchener stitch didn’t work! The pink socks are my WIP - I have progressed to knitting two at a time, magic loop, and am very pleased with myself.

My lesson for today: Never, ever try a new technique without watching the YouTube video first. I’m knitting a pair of port and starboard socks for a friend. Started one on small circs, then thought, this would be a great project to try two at a time. Knitted up sock two to match, and figured I’d just knit them on to one long circ. Yeah right. Off to watch the video now …
