Knitting Progress on my Socks
I didn’t have as much time as I thought to work on my socks.  I did manage to finish the toe, the foot and the heel.  I am now working my way up the leg by working in the round using the magic loop method.  I have 20 stitches on each needle at this time.  




 ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/algoqwouu4.jpg)



These socks are going to be more like slippers because the yarn is worsted weight and the needles are 5.5 mm.  

 ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/oqgsztswvv.jpg)



I don’t mind though because I need to know how to construct socks before switching to the smaller needles and the finer yarn.  

 ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/04ja97bwxx.jpg)



I feel very comfortable working with the magic loop once I fully understood the concept.

I also discovered that video 3 from the Nervous knitter is not helpful.  I had to supplement her information with a couple of the books that I checked out from the library.

One book that is a quick read is β€œHow to Knit Socks That Fit” by Donna Druchnas.

  ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/weqedg1pwo.jpg)

Stay tuned as I finish one sock.

The yarn knits up super lovely and your stitches are so neat that i get a bit envious. I am co curious how you liked the toe up method, that I will have to search for your beginning post (I missed it sadly). I also tried again with socks, but I used the same technique as with the first pair (mine are cuff down and on dpn's)
I did not know the book, but will research it. Thank you for this hint <3

So far, the toe up method suits me fine because I haven't tried the cuff down method yet.  The only problem that I see so far is the shape of the toe.  I believe that I may have accidentally knitted two stitches together on one row, and then made up for it later by increasing a stitch.  I'll see when I finish if it looks off.  I did practice with double pointed needles and found them to be comfortable as well.  I guess it just depends on your personal preference.

Nice color combination @jluvs2fly! I like it a lot. And it's also inspiring to see knitting socks with 5.5mm needle. I knit socks with 2.5mm-3mm needles but the progress is too slow and thicker one would be good for winter :)

I want to knit a pair of socks with a 3 mm needle as soon as I finish kn.itting this current pair.  It takes longer than I expected.  Knitting is slower than crocheting to me.

Nice color pick! I love using multiple color yarns because they match up with other garments well.  Your sock/slipper looks to be coming along well. 😊
