Double Scoop of Vanilla Sox

 Sock Progress:
I have two pair of just plain vanilla basic style sox on my needles.



This Forest Green pair has re-enforced toes
with ribbed instep and leg.
Yarn:  Lambs Pride SuperWash Wool Sport yarn.
Needles:  #3 forty-inch circular

They're ready to begin the gusset
then on to the slip stitch heel.
I'm following Wendy D Johnson's
method as seen on page 41
of her book
Socks from the Toe Up




This striped pair are at the same point -
ready for the gusset, also.

Ribbing on this pair will begin at the leg.

Yarn:  Austermann Step SuperWash Wool
Needles:  2.5 mm thirty-two inch circular

Hugs & ♥♥♥s

  6. Hmmmm - let's see two prs stopped at the same point. What does that tell me? Time to bite the bullet and knit the first gusset. You know what they say, the first gusset is always the worst.
