so i have knit 1 and a half practice socks using the socks 101 tutorial at knitty.com. i need quite a bit more practice than i am on to an official (if simple) pair of socks.
How to knit a pair of socks
It made me
proud 
"Knitting socks is both fun and easy!"
How I did it: I followed the tutorial for "One Sock on
four Double Pointed Needles" here:
http://www.cometosilver.com/socks/
Lessons & tips: Take your time and don't be afraid of those double pointed needles. They seem tricky at first, but I promise that it will get easier with time. And this is coming from the girl who almost poked her eyes out with rogue needles not once, but TWICE! ;)

Oh socks...

So far, I’ve only been able to knit one sock at a time and never finished a pair! I know there is a way to knit two at once, but I haven’t had the guts to try just yet! I’m working on a sock from Charmed Knits, but not in the Potter colors yet. I thought I’d try it in one color before I try the Potter colors. Also…because I don’t know how to change colors yet. I think I’ll add that to my list of things to do!

I’ve already got started on another pair. I love the simple satisfaction and they make great TV knitting.

This is just a simple sock pattern but I am so happy with how they turned out, and I am pleased with myself for sticking with it and figuring the whole thing out. I understand a lot more about knitting now, I can use DPNs and I’ve got to grips with shaping and decreasing. I even got the heels right on the first go!

So I’ve finally caught up with the sock knitting craze and learned how to use DPNs and turn a heel. I finished making my first sock yesterday and proudly wore it round the house all evening. It is so much more simple than I imagined, and I can see why people say it is so addictive. I’ve cast on for my second sock now so I should have a pair soon. I love it!

I have two knitting machines that have produced very little since I got them. It’s a shame! I want to get started by knitting a pair of socks. Then I’ll tackle other projects.
I did it!

I’ve got the first sock started and haven’t managed to mess it up this time (I’ve done that a few times already). Here’s hoping it keeps going well.

I knitted a first sock and was so chuffed with myself until I realised I couldn’t get it on over my sdtupid fat toes! :’( So I undid it. Might try again sometime.
