1 sock done!

Notorious Sock Knitters | February 02, 2008
By Patty

finished the first sock, fit is perfect, color is great. mine looks more orange and brown than red. I made a size small ( foot is 8.5 narrow) on size1circs. Love using the circs instead of dpn, they seemed in the way and left a hole at the joins. Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to try the circs.

Congrats on the first one done! I’m enjoying the pattern as well, my first sock club experience. I am a die hard dpn user though. I’ve tried circs, but still prefer the pointy sticks :)

First sock done here as well! Size medium on 2.5 mm DPNs; striped nicely, just like in the picture. I’m very pleased.

Oops! Just realized I used the 2.25mm as the pattern suggested. ;-)

I used circs for the first time on this pair of socks, too. It works really well!!

I am one down too! I changed the pattern though, I wanted a bit more dragon refernce in there. But I will definetly use the pattern on another yarn, I think it’s great ( I actually swatched it and it was a hard decision to change, but, alas I made it)

Have one done too, after ripping it twice. (only because I am a perfectionist) the first oned id ot stripe like the picture so I ripped, the second striped but had big holes on one heel side,(did it with dpns,) so I did the heel side with a circ needle and the holes were the right side. Have to get another dpn to make the second sock. Am so pleased, it fits perfectly and I love the pattern, looks great.
