Two socks down, hundreds to go.
April 28th, 2004 by Donna
At long last, the Broadripple socks are done, and I love them. Even though I started them at the end of February, it seems like they’ve gone very fast. I recommend the Broadripple sock pattern as a great first sock pattern - a relief from the possibility of endless stockinette. I made some small changes to the pattern to customize the fit (read: make them smaller), and fit they do. Surprise! Perhaps the most valuable lesson in making the was my growing understanding of sock construction and “the sock formula” - you could look at knitting a sock like assembling a puzzle, and it’s fun! 
The Broadripple knitalong has almost 300 knitters, and is about to spin off an ongoing sockalong, Six Sox, a sock every other month for a year - exciting! I’m back to my Lush sweater, and thinking about what I’d like to knit from the summer issue of Interweave Knits…if I can keep from casting on from another sock.
Your socks look sooo cute!! I just sent in my stuff to join Six Sox so I can participate! I want to make a few more pair of broadripples too!!
Love your socks and your blog too. I found your blog through your other blog. I love knitting socks too and have recently branched out to gloves which are aloso knit with sock yarn.
I love your socks, and the picture is priceless. I had so much fun knitting the Broadripple socks…and to think, I almost didn’t join because I had no experience knitting socks. I am looking forward to the next sock pattern..and the next…
Thanks for making it enjoyable with the group setting.
I love your fun lime green socks! And the puppy modeling the socks is pretty cute too.
I like those broadripple socks. IK has a cool pair of socks in nearly every issue, and ONE of these days I just might knit some.
Your socks turned out great! Your dog makes a great “model” for the finished project.
