My Finished Double Knit Socks!

These socks were made on the same set of dpn's one inside of the other with Lion brand Re-Spun yarn. the pattern is just a twisted rib for the cuff and top of the foot with short row heels.

What I need to improve:

Longer Cuff, it doesn't feel comfortable

Short Row, tension is way too loose. I need more practice

Toe Seam, if possible, work toe up

Gauge, It's a couple of stitches too small. Not a big worry.

Where I Got the Method

A blog post from Knitty in 2006 by Korey Stamper

What Next?

I'll be practicing what I need to improve on, and then work on a new pair with the improved method.

Happy Holidays Everyone, see you in 2025!

Made my second pair of socks!

The first ones I made where cuff down whereas these ones are toe up. It solved so many holes and the yarn I used was so much stronger.

Pattern: Eagle Creek Socks by the Fiber Collective blog (not mine, not sponsored, just enjoyed)

Eagle Creek Socks

Need a quick and cozy knit? The Eagle Creek socks use less than 100g of dk weight yarn and knit up fairly quickly with an easy to memorize 8

Yarn: Madelinetosh Tosh DK Crew neck, 225 YDS /205 M

Needles: US3 - 3.25 CM cable

Highly recommend this pattern for a quick knit, it took me roughly a full day for each sock and they're true to size.

So, when I first started crocheting, I would have killed to have a masterlist of resources, so I’m gonna make one. Hopefully there will be some helpful links in here for people. This is by no means a complete list, but hopefully it’ll help get y’all started.
