Knitting Socks

I have taken on a new challenge of knitting socks.  I have to say this is one of the most frustrating things I've ever attempted to do.  Though not as frustrating as sewing garments.  I've ripped apart this sock three times.   At this point I will finish it in all it imperfections - nope, not starting over - no way. 

I made a pair for Baby Boy (because he has the smallest foot), but he doesn't like the feel of them.  I think its the wool that bothers him.  So Daughter is wearing them and loving them.  Hubby requested a pair and this is what I'm working on.    I had planned on finishing them last weekend, but migraines changed my time tables.  So hopefully I'll be able to finished them early next week.  And hopefully they will be nice. 

I found this  sock tutorial which is the pattern I'm using.  Actually its very close to the same color too.  When I figure out how to get pictures here, I'll show you the finished product.

Ah socks aren't really that bad! Once you get the hang of the pattern you'll be whipping them off the needles :) Congrats on starting a new knitting adventure! I just posted pictures of my own knitted socks up. What kind of yarn are you using? sock yarn does tend to soften up a bit after washing. For the little ones, however, I use softer yarns (not "real" sock yarns) since they grow so quickly they don't actually wear them out. My children love to wear thicker knitted socks as slippers and inside their winter boots. They're so lovely and warm!

I like to knit and crochet, but I've never tackled socks. They just seem too hard to me. Good job going for it and making them. :)

Good for you! I don't think I would have the patience to learn to knit.
