Given how much I enjoy knitting socks, encourage others to try knitting socks, and basically never stop talking about knitting socks, I thought you might all appreciate the project notes from my first ever socks.

@meggied90@lemm.ee has perfect advice (the others are great too, but that’s the one that resonated with me).
Make sure you’re good with knitting (and purling) first. If you’ve never done it before DON’T start with a sock. Do something like a scarf - it’s much simpler, you can do it much faster, and you can still turn out something that you like and will use. If you want to go even more simple, pot holders / hot pads are “fast” and easy.
I may or may not have a pair of socks that I dived into with fingering weight in 2019 that’s still mocking me. Though I did do two more rows when I saw this post out of shame.
Haha, you can TOTALLY do it, go go complete those socks! Just think how amazing it’ll feel to have that weight off your shoulders! And you never know they might even fit and be comfy 😆
