Given how much I enjoy knitting socks, encourage others to try knitting socks, and basically never stop talking about knitting socks, I thought you might all appreciate the project notes from my first ever socks.

    I too love knitting socks!! I only wear my own socks these days, they’re just so comfy and they always have fun colors.

    But the real question is: are you team Toe Up or team Top Down?

      Team top down except for that one time I started at the heel. I was not convinced that it was going to work. I felt the need to sacrifice a chicken to make the dark magic work correctly. I’m currently contemplating a toe up pattern. It’s a helix rib without a heel… The idea being I don’t have to make a new sock when my munchkins outgrow the ones I just finished 🥴. Anyone have any experience with heelless socks?

      Team top down can’t store their ball of yarn in the toe of the sock they’re working on.

      @meggied90 Toe-up gang for life! Except for all the times I knit top-down, of course 😂

      (also these first ones that I hated were toe-up, so that put me off for a while, but I came back around lol)
