Did I mess it up? (knitting socks) with pictures!

How-to Questions
1

I’m knitting my first pair of socks and I noticed that there is sort of a bar between each needle. I dont really know how to describe it DX so I took pictures

and I messed up the gauge :help: should I continue and just make smaller socks? or start again? ;.; I’m making everyone in my family socks for christmas so I could use them for another person…

Thanks~

That is a very common problem for beginning sock knitters. If you search for “laddering” you’ll find lots of information. It doesn’t look too bad so it might go away when you wash/block them.

Then it’ll probalby even out when wash them.

You can avoid it by pulling the first TWO stitches really tight after you switch to a new DPN
