It really is.
I have just finished my second pair of knitted socks, hooray! These were a gift so I can share them now.
The yarn is Sirdar Heart & Sole Clever Clogs. I used a 23cm short circular (2.5mm) needle.
Can you tell how proud I am of them? They aren’t perfect. The ribbing on one heel is wonky and I’m not confident enough to undo my knitting yet, but I will learn.
In the meantime I must resist the temptation of casting on another pair because at the rate I knit socks, I wouldn’t make anything else all year.

I love them! I have just finished my second pair too. I like how portable socks are and the yarns you can buy are just gorgeous. x

Thanks Lorraine. I just need to master lifelines now as they would have helped with my heel I think 🙂

My first pair of socks are full of mistakes but I love them all the more for it. Can’t wait to see yours, I’m sure they are lovely. Self striping yarn, whoever thought of that was a genius!

They look gorgeous. What wonky?? I can’t see anything wrong. 2.5mm is a very fine needle – clever you!

Oh thank you Meredithe, I really like the neat little stitches even though they take a while to work up. I am still learning but that’s part of the fun.

My theory is that it is because socks are so manageable, the thought of a bigger project can be off putting.. oh that and the yarns are so gorgeous!
