After repeatedly ripping out the sock I was working on and getting more and more discouraged, I decided to try a basic sock to boost my confidence a bit. So today I started working on a pattern I yanked off the internet. this is the result so far.

Alright...what size and length needles? I think I may have to throw knitting monagomy into the wind.
I'm using #2 24" circulars
I'm using #2 24" circulars as the pattern calls for. I'm getting close to the heel now, but I think it's bedtime. tomorrow I plan to attempt the heal. I'm hoping I'm understanding the directions correctly. It's not that bad, I've seen the work you've done, I KNOW you can do this.

I think the basic pattern is the way to go. Once you have the foundation down, you can embellish as much as you want. I use the pattern found here and it is so super simple. I made a pair for my mother for Christmas and I'm currently knitting up a basic striped pair in worsted wool for my partner.
Yours is looking great so far, and the second one will be so much easier :)

Thanks for the link! I'll have to try it for my next pair. I am now taking donations of sock yarn!

I am, but I'm not only a bag whore, I'm a premarital sox hussy too. It's only one of my Many Many Many Charms. Besides, how else you think I got a hot young romanian man to marry me? Certainly wasn't my girly figure or my daily workout routine (sit ups in the morning, lay downs at night)

If knitting sox will snag me a hot young Romanian man, I'll have a pair off the needles within an hour.
