Now for sock two. The hardest thing in knitting. Afterthought heel. No real pattern was used but I did write it down as I made it so I can repeat it.

I’m tired of buying socks that blow out after a week. I have been hoarding discount sock yarn for years and it’s time get it used so I can repair instead of toss.

    If you have long enough straight needles you can double knit two socks side by side (both layers are knit at the same time and separate socks are produced side by side) it is complicated but doable. No, it isnt simple, but it can be fun for those who like complex things and can not be arsed to knit the second sock

      Ironically, the needles only need to be about . . . A foot long

        Footlong size 1 needles sounds like a recipe for bent or broken needles.

          Ok size 1 is wild but i bet your socks are much more comfortable than mine. Now i am jealous.

            I only want the tightest knit on my socks. So size 1 all the time.
