I’m new to sock knitting. In fact, I just finished my first pair! So I would love to win a pair!

I struggle with knitting adult size socks because I feel like double pointed needles slow me down. Considering a switch to magic loop to speed things up!

Ever since making my first pair of socks I am addicted to the process! I do not feel complete without a pair of socks on my sticks (along with all my other projects). To have sock blockers would make my sock addiction complete!!!!

So far I have fully knit two pairs of socks and am working on my third pair. The first two were just ones to sleep in and the first came out a little big and the second (through following the pattern) wound up too short so I needed to pick up stitches to add more length. That one and the ones I am currently working on are knit on straight needles and, to me at least, it seems like that way takes longer than in the round; go figure. Someday I’d like to try knitting them toe-up, that certainly makes it easier to make sure they fit :-)

I’ve knit SO many socks that it takes a really special pattern to get my interest now. I DO love knitting them, though, for myself or as gifts.
