My First Knit Sock In The Round Yarn Along 106

My First  Knit Sock In The Round Sock

It is so good to be with you during this weeks yarn along.

I spent most of my week reading and re-reading on how to make a sock. I decided to just go for it.. and that is what I would like to share this week. This sad little sock is not perfect and I am not sure if I completely like it..but it is a sock never the less. I am still slowly learning the anatomy of a sock.

I decided to go with the band heel because there is no gusset to worry about and that meant less thinking and more knitting. I decided to go with the star toe which I didn't really like and will not do next time.

I really like the yarn I used which is Deborah Norville Serenity  50% Merino Wool, 25% Rayon made with Bamboo and  25% Nylon. The sock is so warm and cozy. I am really excited to make a real pair with this yarn. I don't have enough yarn to make another long leg sock....so I have decided to use the rest of the yarn to make a ankle length sock for more practice:) I bought a skein of Patons Kroy which is 75% Wool and 25% Nylon. This I hope will make a nice pair of socks..but not until after I have one more practice of making a good heel and a toe:)

Thank you  for stopping by today friend..please tell me what you  have been knitting and keeping busy with...and always I like to thank Ginny for this weeks yarn along.....

My Finished Two Needle Sock ** Flat Sock Knitting** " New Knitter"

My Finished Two Needle Sock **Flat Sock Knitting** " New Knitter"

I know two posts in one day??....but I had to share my finished sock. I can't believe it actually looks like a sock and feels like a sock..~smile~

I finished the bottom of the foot and then shaped the heel by: decreasing by knitting 2 stitches together at the beginning and the end of each row until 12 stitches remain. I then immediately began increasing one stitch at the beginning and end of each row until the stitch count is back until 24.....I then binded off and stitched the ribbing and all angles..heel and toe.

I used Vanna's Glamour yarn color Topaz it is a very forgiving yarn...so don't look to close there are a few mistakes..~smile~

I am excited about making my second sock....although I might take a small break and work on a wallet that I have been wanting to make..~smile~ I look forward to wearing both of my socks this winter~~~smile~~

Still Working On My Two Needle Sock " Flat Knitting" Yarn Along 10

Still Working On My Two Needle Sock  " Flat Knitting"

Today is Ginny's Yarn Along and I am excited to share my progress with you . I have been working on my two needle sock and it has been a lot easier than I thought it would be...remember I am a very new knitter.

These are the steps I have done so far...

1. I casted on 50 stitches

2. I did the ribbed stitch (knit 2 purled 2) until it reached 7 inches long

3.I binded off the first 15 stitches then knitted 24 and binded off the last 15 (this looks kind of weird at first )

4. The 24 stitches will be the top of the foot I knitted until it reached 7 inches long

5. I then started to decrease by knitting 2 stitches together at the beginning and end of each row until 14 stitches remained. I then immediately began increasing 1 stitch at the beginning and end of each row until your stitch count in back to 24.

6. I then continued to work on the 24 stitches until it reaches 7 inches long. (the top of the foot)

This is where I am at working on the bottom of the foot of my sock. I hope to have it finished by next knit along but with the holiday weekend it might take me a little longer.

I hope you have a blessed day reader,
