The first husband sock is done…sort of….
I worked for six inches past the heel and then used a stretchy bind off. I didn’t alter the ribbing for a cuff. Turns out that was dumb!
Upon putting it on his foot the hubby found it to be too loose and the top rolled down. I threw in about four evenly spaced increases that need to come out and I need to devise some sort of ribbed cuff for structure. What do you think? 2×2….3×3? These things I must ponder.
Good news is that at least I’m moving along on the foot of sock #2! I’m six inches of nine total foot knitting. These things might be done soon. Sigh, just as soon as I unpick and rework sock #1. Or maybe I’ll put it in time out until #2 is done, lol.
Happy Knitting!
Bummer about the cuff! The color and sheen sure are pretty, as are your teeny tiny stitches.
Cuffs can be such a nightmare. It’s still lovely though.
I would do the second one first…by then you will be less unhappy about the prospect of ripping back…so many stitches in those suckers…they are looking good though
Take a look at a pair of his socks at the cuffs to help you decide 2×2 or 3. I have a ton of sock yarn but still haven’t attempted any. What size needles did you use? Looks great.
I knit all my socks on US size 1s. I especially love my 8 inch circular so no laddering!
I am definitely gonna make me a pair soon. Thanks.
Im trying not to start another pair of socks til i get a few more things done
They are addicting!
I loved doing the first pair, but I want to do more. hubby wants a pair
