Vanilla Sock by Crazy Sock Lady on magic loop in Estelle Sock twin crazy ball. Was not a huge fan of the yarn, as it is pretty splitty and a little rough but you guys I did it! I made my first ever pair of socks! And the rusticness of the yarn helps hide my beginner mistakes lol
You guys!!! I made socks!!!

Damn, those look great! Fantastic job! Socks are hands down one of my favourite projects: quick, practical, lots of room for creativity, and you can never have too many. Welcome to the sock knitting club!

Wow. I love the colour. It looks like it would take forever to knit this. How long does it takes?

The first sock took me 10 days, the second took a week.

You did it! They look fantastic! And now I will spend all day showing this post to people I know who are afraid to try socks 😄

Cuff down. Have you done both? I haven't tried toe up yet

Really nice regardless 😄

My wife is the knitter in this house, but I’ll say that they look great!

As someone with crocheting, but no knitting experience, would you recommend this project to me? I really want to make socks now seeing how awesome your socks came out!

This was me a month ago: https://sh.itjust.works/post/5742265
I took some advice from that thread, and my first project was a hat, just to get used to knitting. It's all loops in loops, you'll get it quickly. I think it's good to do something else first because socks come in a pair and I don't think my second would have come as close to matching my first if I had dove in with them to start.
I think the best advice I got was to look up continental style knitting, since it tensions the yarn in your left hand. I hold my yarn the same for crochet and knitting.
Let me know how it goes!

Yay you! They look fantastic, I'm still too afraid to try knitting socks myself :s
thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 2y
Do we need to do some kind of sockalong? 🤨
kurobita@feddit.cl · 3 pts · 2y
That'd be awesome tbh. I just got into the whole "craft along" thing with a CAL a local designer set up for a shawl pattern. It's been fun sharing my progress with other participants and seeing what they're doing, troubleshooting and such.

Idk if you're a Discworld fan at all, but...

My friend, these were my second ever project. I've been knitting about a month. If I can do it, you can definitely do it!
FishersDonut@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 2y
Oh wow, they look great, love the colour! Are they comfy to wear?
Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y
Possibly the comfiest I own. I was worried because the wool felt a little scratchy to work with but honestly there's a lot to be said for custom fits!

So fucking coooool! I love then & my feet get cozy just looking at them.
