I've almost mastered the basic sock. My toes need work - I got a helpful tip from Heather (can't find her blog!!!) to try a kitchener stitch - so I'll try that next. Also, at the heel/gusset, there are holes where I had to M1. Since I knit backwards (I purl for knit and knit for purl), I must be making the M1 wrong. Ack! I need to find a book on how to make socks that takes me from beginner and keeps adding skill as I go.
But for now, I LOVE this fun cotton yarn - Katia Jamaica. One skein is JUST enough for adult-medium socks. My 6 year old, L is still wearing his single sock around, but doesn't seem to mind. I just turned the heel on his second one, but lost a #3 needle somewhere.
