My First Pair of Socks!
by agoodspirit
Tada! My first pair of socks! I feel like these mark my passage into the circle of real knitters! I must confess that they aren’t perfect. Maybe I shouldn’t broadcast this, but if you look really closely at the second picture, you can tell that the gussets aren’t the same. On the first sock, I forgot to work one round even between each of the gusset decreases. Weirdly, though, I can’t really tell a difference in fit between them. At any rate, they’re my first socks, and I’m proud of them!
They’re the Basic Sock (Fine) pattern from Patons’ Next Steps Four: Socks and Slippers. For yarn, I used Patons Kroy Socks 4 ply.

Congrats! They look amazing.
they look great to me … maybe we will get to see them at Thanksgiving
Congratulations! You have now enjoyed the magic of turning a heel. They look great and don’t feel bad. We’ve all had to “fix” gussets before. Love to see all that you are making.
These look hard to make. But super comfy. Just in time for winter!
If the opportunity existed I’d snitch them
I have partially knitted a pair of socks. So far, when I get back to them I have always had to start over when I get to the heel. I can’t see the problem you mentioned. Maybe there’s hope for me.
