My first pair of socks


Yarn : Lion Brand *Magic Stripes
Needles : Aero size 3.25mm double pointed, set of 4
Length : 20cm
Pattern : Free pattern leaflet
This is the first time i have knitted socks, using 4 double pointed needles.
It's a Superwash wool blend that is durable, yet soft.
I am sure socks knitting will be in my knitting itinerary always.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! ;-} Your first socks look amazing! Congrats on a beautiful job. BTW Knitpicks.com has some nice quality, inexpensive sock yarns if you ever want to expand beyond the LB yarn in the future.

Cute socks! Love the colorful stripes. Wish I had the patience for dpns, but they always get in the way for me.

Thanks for visiting my blog.
Well done with the socks. I'm still struggling with my first pair :), but it is so much fun.
The problem with knitting socks is that I spend more time trying them on then knitting them :).
best wishes
