FO: Knitting Olympics My First Socks!

Notice I said sockS? I was only signed up to make one because I thought that would be a huge enough challenge. It was. But then me being the perfectionist that I am decided I wanted to do 2. So I did. And I finished in time!!!

It was the first time using double pointed needles. The first time using 4 needles at once. And the first time making socks. So, I learned a lot! And now I have some groovy socks! There is no repeat with the yarn I used, so they are not supposed to match…just supposed to be random stripes. That they are! Socks are addicting! I want to make some more but with a different pattern and different, better yarn. I want to make the next cleaner, not with a ribbed top, sort of like trouser socks but with a simple design on top and with nice soft merino or something.

So, here they are!

Great job! They’re so pretty!

Woo hoo! Excellently funky socks!

god I love them! I’m working on sox right now, too, so I feel that excitement! I can’t wait until mine are done (I have, um, the cuff done? :lol: )

Those look great!! I can’t belive that’s your first pair – awesome job! :thumbsup:

Yay for you!!! :cheering: :cheering:

They’re so much fun, and you did a wonderful job! :thumbsup:

Great job!!! :cheering: Cute colors - love the randomness!

Cute socks! You did a good job on your first pair. I never completed my first pair :blush: , but have since done another. Are they by chance made with Lion brand Magic Stripes in Jelly Bean? I have that yarn to make my dd a poncho and the colors look the same.

Cute!! I love the color! :slight_smile:

Those are GREAT!!! I want to learn how to make socks… just not quite “there” yet! :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone!

And, yes, they are Magic Stripes Jelly Bean. :smiley:

Very cute! Love the colors! :thumbsup:

I really like that they don’t match! :sunglasses:

great job! Love the colors in that yarn.
