Second Sock
I think the best way to avoid 'second sock syndrome' is to begin the second sock as soon as the first is finished. Mind you, in this case I'm making the socks for someone else, so I couldn't leave one sock languishing in any case.
I'm glad you mentioned the sock syndrome, I often suffer from this. Just make sure you make the next sock the same size, I have recently made a pair and it was not until I finished them I realised that one was shorter than the other, lol Briony x
When making socks, I make both at the same time. I use the five needles, two sets, and knit one cuff and then the other, one leg and then the other and continue until they are finished. I use two row counters to make sure they have the same number of rows. When I am done, I am done. I know that I would never go back to do the second sock.
I agree!
ReplyDeleteWow I didn't know it's a syndrome 😦but believe this😄

Who can argue with your well-heeled logical reasoning ;-P

Not heard it called a syndrome, First sock looks lovely
ReplyDeleteGood idea! When I first looked at the picture I was trying to figure out why you were putting a hole in the side of the foot. :)

ReplyDeleteThat is certainly one answer to second sock syndrome.
DeleteOh yes, you must knit two socks, these look comfy.
