scks


Okay, so these are not perfect. I see them as a way of learning about socks. Ways in which they are not perfect:
-They may grow bigger in use b/c of loose gauge - as the ones I knitted ages ago did.
(I tried to fix this by the all over ribbing (well not the sole, of course)). Next time, I'll probably go down a needle size
- When grafting the first toe, I misread the instructions and turned the sock inside out - hence there is a little ridge of purly stitches at the top. I'm keeping them as a souvenir.


And the neat things:

-They fit. Really.
-They have a very nice sturdy heel. I have not made such a heel before, but it keeps up the shape of the sock.
-The grafting of the second sock at the toe. Hurray for that.




With kind thoughts to the sokkenbreien group at ravelry - thanks for your advice!

Ik vind ze heel mooi. En inderdaad: bij elke paar sokken die je breit leer je weer wat bij, zo werkt het bij mij tenminste wel.

Mooie sokken hoor!! Ik hoop dat je nog meer gaat breien, want van alles leer je weer.

Ik vind ze prachtig en ze zitten vast fijn. Ik zou ze gewoon dragen en doorgaan met de volgende sok.

They do look very nice. I have never managed to make myself a pair that fit like i'd like them to. That alone is an achievement. Good for you!
