Rib and Cable Socks - The Journey Begins
My first pair of socks is off to a great start, except for one little issue... I didn't swatch to check the gauge. I know, I know... Bad knitter! No cookie! The pattern says when I knit 30 rounds, it should be about 3 inches long, okay, if by 3 inches you really meant two and a half. However, length isn't a huge issue to me. The width is correct when I stretch out the ribs, so I should be good to go. I'll know better next time.
That being said, I'm really enjoying sock knitting. I think I'm going to have to keep a pair for socks on the needles at all times. I'm going to order some natural colored yarn and attempt handpainting the yarn at some point. Once I do that, I'll post pictures of course!
Sock numero uno - thus far
