it's been a struggle and i ripped out the heel 3 times until i got it right but i've learned so much from this 'toe-up class' on craftsy.com. this is my first sock ever and this is not exactly a beginner's class but i think i'm going to make it work.
who would have thought that this...
 |
| the gauge swatch and the beginning of the toe |
|
would actually start looking like a sock...
 |
| just a few more inches to go |
and then, of course, i have to knit the second sock but that will be easy now.
i've also added several borders to the busy looking piece i started in
Karen's Ledger Class.
 |
| not sure how big it will get and then there will be embroidery embellishments |
i need to move along quickly because my to do list is growing daily.

I'm sure the second sock will be easy!

Ive always given up after the one sock lol but I think you have far more self discipline than me lol

Wow Deanna! Congrats on the sock! I had one sorry sock waiting for it mate, but I cannot remember how to knit it - Love the piece from Karen Ruane's workshop. What fun...
I love to knit Toe-Up socks, but heels are another story. I've been knitting socks for about 4 years now, and I still have problems turning those darned heels. Sorry for the lack of encouragement here, but perhaps you will have better luck!
I love your yarn!
Good luck!

A perfect heel! Congratulations! :-)
Reading your title I hear the old children's chant in my head...this is a sock. A What? A SOCK! OHhhh, a sock!
And what a fine sock it is :) And I love your 'page' Are those clothing 'tags' on it? It looks great :)
Oh hooray! Second socks are a lot easier if you don't worry about anything matching. :)
Deanna, oh how satisfying it must be to actually knit a sock -- yay! That's something I want to learn, too. The ledger cloth is awesome. You are very busy. xo
hooray! you're a sock knitter! i knew you could do it.
lovely sock, deanna! i taught myself to knit many, many years ago by knitting a pair of socks. so many people think they are the most difficult thing to knit, but i say if you can knit a sock, you can knit anything! actually, they have all the same elements as a baby set, so they really aren't as difficult as people think... however, as a first project, they are challenging! keep up the excellent work!
I have knitted nothing but scarfs in my life. I admire the discipline and knowledge needed to make socks or other garments.
XOXO
