Socks for beginners!



Hey ya,

This pattern (
Sunday Swing Socks) from Knitty.com is a great start for someone who has never knit socks before. They were my first (and currently only) socks I've ever knit. My size is shown in small. I don't know what yarn I used exactly, I'll be better about that kind of information moving forward as I keep track. But basically any sock yarn will do, and as the pattern suggests, these socks are awesome for yarn with a color variation.


These socks are no-nonsense, no-frills, (albeit a bit of lace), and just challenging enough to be interesting but not so bad that you can't watch Back to the Future while knitting them.


The designer is Kristel Nyberg, from Finland. Finland seems like a decent place to knit things. She can be found at Ravelry.com as "Kristel." Incidentally, I've joined Ravelry also, my user name is "MPino" for what it's worth.
