my first attempt at a sock! i can see all the things i did wrong, but at least it looks like a sock!



i used this training sock pattern from knitty with sz8 DPNs. much simpler than i thought it would be. now i'm drooling over all the pretty hand dyed socks yarns on etsy... :woop:

i've knit a couple socks now, and want to slap myself for not learning sooner. my only issue is when picking up stitches after shaping the heel. there is always a small hole between the body of the sock after picking up the slipped stitches. i follow the pattern to a T, so what am i missing?!

also a long shot, but any LYS in the middle GA area? my only options have been hobby lobby and michael's.

Sock talk:

Fleegle! Fleegle not only has my favorite short row technique, she also figured out how to eliminate the holes at the heel corners.


Shop talk:

Google says there might be a Creative Yarns in Macon, GA.

I don't what the DMV area is, bibliophile, otherwise I'd search for you, too! :)
thank you on both accounts! i was picking up extra stitches in an attempt to hide the hole which didn't work AT ALL. i can't wait to try on my next pair!

To look up local yarn stores, I totally understand if you want personal recommendations, but if you just want to know what exists nearby, a great first step is http://knitmap.com
i looked up macon and the only LYS closed on the 8th :( oh well! there's always etsy!
