Ok so I finally took the plunge and I'm knitting my first pair of socks. Ever. I'm doing fingering held double because less stitches 😂

Pattern: DK Weight Vanilla Socks Yarn: locally dyed mering sock fingering

I'm following the vanilla socks on magic loop video tutorial by Crazy Sock Lady and it's helped sooo much. I suck at understanding written instructions (probably because english is not my first lanuage) so seeing it done has made things much easier.

I can now totally understand why socks are such a big thing lol.

Thank you! You and others were right that it was somewhat easy and really like magic how it went from flat to tridimensional lol.

The Crazy Sock Lady videos are super well explained and she covers a few methods of sock knitting, I definetely recommend her for beginners like me :)
