One Sock Down, One More to Go

I learned how to knit a couple of weeks ago and so far have made two hats. I started a scarf for myself but got bored with it so I took it apart and started another scarf with a different stitch pattern. Got bored with it and took it apart.

I was bored with hats and scarves I wanted to make something else. I had seen a sock tutorial and the thought of working with more than two needles and double pointed needles at that was something I wanted to try. So off to my local craft store to purchase the needed supplies for a pair of socks.

I Can’t Believe I’m Knitting Socks (Leisure Arts #4083) and Knitting Help was all I needed and I was off making a sock.

Since I do have a family to take care of this sock took a couple of days to make. Hopefully, since I basically know what I’m doing it’s mate won’t take as long.

I am hoping these socks will fit my hubby since I used his socks to measure the foot portion of it.

This is the beginning. It took awhile to get used to knitting with four needles. What I ended up doing is concentrating on two needles at a time and used needle guards at the ends so the stitches didn’t fall off.

Look! I’ve made progress! I can actually see how this will be a sock (this is the leg portion by the way).

Now I’m knitting the heel flap. This is the part of the sock that extends down to your heel. The others stitches are on stitch holders because I don’t need them right now.

I have finished the heel and working my way to finishing the foot portion of the sock.

Yeah! I did it! I made a sock!

P.S. - It was actually easier than I thought it would be.
