Wiley and Buddy's Perspective
Wiley can really relax knowing his stuffy friends are comfortable in Jimmy's new bag. Apparently these bags are also good for knitting projects -- too bad there isn't any room left over...
I'm a 50+ y.o. returning knitter. You know, mom tried to show you when you were younger, she was left-handed, you were right-handed...frustration and tears. So you never progressed much beyond knitting garter stitch scarves?
Try this sock pattern and you will be amazed at how easy socks are!
This is a delight-using a worsted weight makes the knitting go much faster. The instruction are clear and number of needles is kept to a minimum.
The secret to knitting socks is read the pattern first, and then trust the process. Just do what she says and go for it!
The only thing I do recommend is that after you turn the heel, shape the gusset and knit a few rows, you try the sock on-leave the needles in and slip over your foot. It gives you a better idea of how far to knit before the shaping of the toe.
I did alter this pattern a bit. I had knitted the foot part and when I tried it on, realized that the toe shaping would have to be pretty darn quick. So I did decrease rounds each round, and when there were 24 stitches total, put the heel on one needle and the instep on the other and finished with the Kitchener stitch. There are plenty of videos on how to do this, choose the one easiest to you and finish your sock!
I'm a huge fan of the KPS patterns-and this sock pattern is very nice. My husband's socks came out great and now I'm working on a pair for me.
