My First Socks

Progress is being made!

Last night I turned the heel.

Tonight I am heading for the toe!  I love how squishy this sock feels.  It is even getting cold here on the Gulf Coast of Florida.  Florida cold 66 degrees at the moment.  Hot tea with honey, pj's cold and knit socks cold.

Frogging Sox

Not what I had in mind for my beautiful socks.  The directions were for using circular needles.  I used 4 dp needles.  I didn't think I would have a problem, but alas my brain doesn't know how to compute the necessary calculations when it gets down to the KNITTY GRITTY heal turn.... I feel so stupid.  I had my lovely ribbing and my 7" leg and all that brilliant heal flap.   The flap was calculated incorrectly and was too long by 5 stitches.  I just could not figure out where to go next.  I finally combined the directions from another dp sock and bravely went ahead and turned the heal.  I picked up 21 stitches from each side when WHAMMO I had to try and do something called SHAPE THE INSTEP???  Maybe because I have flat feet this was a foreign concept.  I tried really.  Then I frogged and this is what I am back to.

The sad unraveling of the sock.  Mile after mile of lovely knitting and getting ready to start again.  I have now found a pattern from Susan B. Anderson called "How I Make My Socks" link It is made on dp's and I have already cast on.  I will keep you posted.  My 'right brain' thinking has to do it this way.  I have to start over. 
I am going to knit for a very long time tonight in an attempt to get caught back up even though I know that is not possible.

Socks First Please

I have everything I need to make socks!
Purely delighted with myself and with thanks to Araignee link for sending me a great pattern to start out with. 
The Knitmore Vanilla Sock Pattern by Jasmine Canty link

They look like the perfect socks.

I am in buisness! They are cast on and knitting will commence.  Will keep you posted.  It doesn't help that I have the biggest feet this side of the Gulf of Mexico, but I can always give them away at Christmas.
