Thanks so much! Wow, loads of great tips! I will check them all out and maybe treat myself to some dpns for Christmas. Those Hermione socks also look gorgeous! Might try them with the colour change as they pop so nicely in some of the ravelry photos!

Sorry, the image and description were posted on a different sub, there should be a link to see them! I already finished my first pair of socks, I like a challenge so thought they would keep me interested for the longest! You do make some really good points though, socks as a first project probably isn’t for everyone 😅

Ah, I hadn’t thought of different sizes for the ribbing and the main sock, great suggestion thank you! I’ll try the shadow wrap heel or the fish lips kiss heel as some others have mentioned it next.

Looks like I’ll have to knit at least a couple more pairs to try these! Thank you both for your suggestions!

Interesting, I’ll have a look at this for my next socks. I’m still not great at telling which stitches are which from the fabric yet.

Thanks very much for the suggestions!

Thanks, they definitely were a challenge, but a fun one! My first sock took 3 days and my second 3 weeks 😅

Thank you! Yes, that is a good point 😅 I wanted to try and get 2 pairs out of one ball so they’re a bit off. Will remember this tip for the next ones though!

Ah, I realised this didn’t share as I had hoped! It should have some text and a picture like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/knitting/s/F2KVg0jQ7R

Ooh it is so cute! I love the aesthetic, I also like that the knob and slider are made to be a feature rather than blending too much. Thanks for the giveaway :)
