I have wanted to knit some socks for quite a while and have friends make them for me. Many years ago, I’m talking 25 years, I tried using double pointed needles (unsuccessfully). Tossed them aside and didn’t try again. It’s time to put my big girls pants on and try again.
After buying a nice sock book, watching many tutorials and searching google I decided now is the time.
Winwickmum has a knit along for basic socks.

I bought this yarn from Bendigo Woollen Mills.
I have taken my time and even did a test swatch.
I tried the circular needles, but I just couldn’t manage so I went on to the double pointed needles (DPN). Tossed my surprise I managed and without any holes.
So here is my progress.
I got a little lost when decreasing along the heel so I have put it away until I have time to sort out which row I am doing.
Overall, so far, I am extremely happy.
