I did it!!
My very first pair of socks! That actually fit! (I am not counting the crochet ones that are like humongous mukluks I wear around the house.)

So happy! Let me show you it!

Thanks!! I found a design I liked and did that counting thing (otherwise known as Math) to figure out where they'd fit on the foot. Took ages. I'm soooo happy it worked!

What kind of yarn and what size needles?

[foxyfurs]

Superwash wool. Fairly cheap stuff, it's not the softest around. And I've noticed I knit kinda tight, so although the "basic sock pattern" I'd found called for 2's, I went up to two size 4 circs. Both socks were done at the same time, and except for getting confused for a bit around the heel, it worked out pretty good!!

Well, they look great and I'd love to be able to knit socks. *admires*

I couldn't knit at *all* a couple years ago. You can do it! *offers enthusiastic encouragement!!*
