I took a picture of the socks that I have in the works. I think they are funny looking but hey I made socks. This is the second pair I have made using this pattern and I think I'm about ready to move on to a new pattern. I want to learn how to do cables, for sweaters and socks. I found a pattern for a scarf that is in cables and it says that its the fun way to learn how to cable. Well we will see. I can see me getting frustrated with all that fun. Once I get the hang of it, it will all be OK but until then.. I like making socks. Especially these wool socks. They are so warm. You know
.
now that I look at these socks they looks different from each other. I made them from the same pattern and followed it the same and look at the difference. Strange if you ask me. One looks like an elephant sock and the other looks well.... normal.

One looks like an elephant sock and the other looks well.... normal. I have made up my mind and I'm going to start a sweater next. I'm going to conquer my fears and just dive head first into it. Well, maybe not my head you have to be careful of the needles they can be sharp. As the little engine said, I think I can , I think I can, I think I can. I will post pictures as I go. Woowoo!!

Ok, Lots of questions.... What pattern are you using for the socks? How long are your cuffs. I had that funny look thing happen in my first pair of socks, i think it is because I like a shorter cuff.

Hey Kayt, thanks for stopping by!
I'm using a tutorial that I found online that walks you thru the process of making socks.

That is the link to the tutorial. It has been a great help learning how to make socks.
The cuffs are 5 inches long and for me should have been longer because I have fat calves and fat feet. But these are for my daughter who likes her socks a bit shorter.
Thanks again and come back anytime.
