About 6 or 8 months ago I tried my first sock (dpns). I got to the heel turn, got mad, and quit knitting the sock. Then two of the newest knitters in my SNB started knitting socks on 2 circs and I decided to give it a whirl. I figured it out, thought it was a neat technique but it didn’t really hold my interest.
I’ve always wanted to knit socks–it’s the reason I started knitting in the first place…
a couple of nights ago I tried again using two strands of DK yarn and used the North County Cotton Sock Pattern on this site (under free patterns). I whipped up a child’s sock in no time and thought it was TONS of fun! Today I decided to knit a real pair of socks, pulled out some old sock yarn I had purchased and cast on. In about a round I was fed up again…Maybe it’s the tiny needles and yarn that stumps me/bores me???
Do any of you have tips to make sock knitting easier? Is it just those first few rounds? I want to knit socks so badly–I have some of the most beautiful sock yarn that I can only pet and gaze at…
