Thanks to some recent car travel time and my children not being COMPLETELY insane. I managed to work a fair bit on my Helping Hippo Vanilla socks!
The sock on the right is the first one and it’s ready for the gusset heel. I didn’t have my heel notes handy and I didn’t have a stitch marker either but I still had quite a ways to go on our drive. So I put those aside and started the sock on the left. I mean…I can’t not knit while in the car right?
I’m really pleased with the speckles and finding it hard to put them down!
Happy Knitting!!

I love that yarn! perfect for socks!
that is great sock yarn
That yarn is just wonderful! I’m going to add it to my wish list – just have to finish up some of my existing sock yarn first 😉
Very pretty cheerful yarn! It is just super cute! What kind of toe is that?
Just normal wedge? I cast on 20 sts each on two dpns and work the increases at the beginning and end of each needle. My toe line is fairly blunt so that’s why I started with so many stitches. I don’t like the more “pointy” toe that most people make by starting with less stitches. It’s just makes extra fabric that bunches up for me in my shoes.
I was wondering about the cast on. I have been fooling around with different toe and heel methods trying to find my vanilla sock. So I’m always curious about how other people do theirs 🙂
I do the figure 8 cast on and then I twist my first row of stitches as I knit to tighten everything up snug.
Ah – thank you! I think I’m leaning toward the figure 8 as the least hassle, but have been trying out a few other methods as well.
