All Over Sock Help

General Knitting Questions | February 03, 2008

I made the size large on size 1US DPNs. I wear a size 7.5-8 shoe… when making a sock, are you supposed to make them a bit small, so that when you block them they stretch out a bit? I finished my first sock, and the heel pooks out a bit, it’s a bit loose all over, and I haven’t blocked it yet… little lost (eep).

WooHoo these socks were a fast knit and came out beautiful! I’d never knit a heel with the double wraps before but love the way it looks. The star toe also came out wonderful. My socks are taking a cool bath and will soon be drying on sock blockers for me to wear to work this week. I will now attack the December pattern which was waylaid by holiday knitting and a trip to Italy.

It FITS!!

Just finished! Not only is this my first sock club sock, this is my first sock *ever*… and it fits!! I’m so thrilled. The star toe is great (despite my loathing of k2tog) and I love the short row heel because there is little I hate more in knitting than picking up stitches (maybe k2tog… maybe :)). I made the large on US 0 needles. The only thing I would have changed is that I would have stopped two rows sooner on the short row heel before working back out again (so leaving 11 unwrapped stitches in the center instead of 9). The heel was just very slightly too deep for me - but so slight that it doesn’t even bother my picky feet.Thanks to the designer for such a lovely, fabulous, sock-newbie-friendly pattern.  It’s awesome to start off sock knitting with a bang like this! 

All done! January

The socks are finished and I’ll have pics up on Ravelry on Sunday. This pattern really caught my imagination, which is why they were finished as quickly as they were. I made the largest size and had 10 grams of yarn left over. I’m looking forward to the March shipment. Can it please be March now?

1 sock done!

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.
