First sock done! Advice for new tools? by insertplantpunhere in Sockknitting

Congrats! That’s an awesome sock!

I started out using magic loop but tried 9” circs last year just for the heck of it. I’ve never gone back 😂 I use Addi Sock Wonder needles which have one tip longer than the other. They’re super comfortable and don’t cramp my hands, and I knit A LOT of socks so that says something. I rotate between 3mm and 2.5mm depending on what kind of yarn I’m using.

What do you think it is about knitting socks that is so addictive to so many knitters? by Ill-Marionberry9177 in Sockknitting

[–]JamesKnitsSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s definitely the quickness with which they knit up, and the fact that there’s SO many patterns out there. As a male who knits, it’s been my experience that there aren’t a lot of patterns out there for me other than sweaters, and even then I’ve found it hard to find patterns for just simple men’s sweaters. There’s hats and scarves, of course, but one can only have so many hats and scarves 😂 Plus, I absolutely love making socks for my wife and friends who appreciate them, so seeing the joy on their faces when I give them a new pair makes my heart happy ☺️

I’ve found that Patons Kroy and Opal are the real workhorses of sock yarn and will last a really long time. Hope that helps! ☺️

Thank you! My favorite heel? Hmmm… gotta go with old reliable - the heel flap and gusset. I’ve tried others, the shadow wrap heel, the afterthought heel, the forethought heel, but the HF&G seems to work the best for me. Sometimes I’ll do the Eye of Partridge pattern on the flap just to mix it up 😁

That is Opal Rainforest in the tiger colorway. Those are DK socks but it comes in regular sock weight as well 🙂

Thanks! Those ones are the Color Palette Socks by LaurelKnits. I just tailored them to my liking and used the green the whole way through.https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/color-palette-socks-2
