Nice colors!
I gotta learn darning at some point …
As soon as my current wood glue up is done I will be in the wood shop making a darning egg.
Excuse my uninformed question, but why would you need a darning egg if you are knitting socks from scratch?
Because when they eventually wear thin I will be able to repair them
Did you find a pattern? I used KnitFreedom’s toe-up pattern for my first pair. You could start the cuff as soon as you finish the heel to make them ankle socks.
There’s also this pattern by Purl Soho that I have saved but haven’t used yet.
Can’t wait to see your sock progress!
I always wing it.
But that failed here. I had made good progress but ending up frogging because it was 12 stitches too wide. I started over last night.
