I have turned a heel on my first sock! Yay me!!! And I finally get why there is an obsession about sock knitting. Maybe it is because I am knitting with 8ply yarn on 4mm needles. Maybe it is because socks are such functional items.I don’t know what it is, but I am really getting into it.
Admittedly I haven’t finished the first sock. And I have wondered if I would be motivated to knit sock 2.
This begs the question. Is there a place in this world for a collection of single socks?

got any one legged friends? Sorry, it had to be said. LOL
Good for you! I remember that moment so clearly!
Yay you! You can do it again - the only thing better than knitting socks is wearing socks you've knit yourself!
There is nothing else you can knit that is so absolutely brilliant as a turned heel. That's why we knit socks, so we can stop and look at that piece of engineering wonder!
wahoo to you!!
Maybe your single sock could go on a date with my single sock and then they would live happliy ever after as the odd couple.
Wahoo! Well done! As a "wannabe" sock knitter, I bow to skill and greatness ;-)
As for SSS - I had the idea that you could gift it on to someone to make the second one - either do a swap or start a ring. That way you only ever knit one, but get a pair (eventually) But if this is your first, then you *have* to do it, and then you will always have your first socks!
Huzzah!!! Socks are great aren't they? To the uninitiated they are magic: but I think they are magic too. It's like the way Jumbo jets take off: how does that happen???!!!
Woohoooo!!!
So glad you've been bitten by the sock bug - it's a GOOD obsession to have. No, really!
You can always wear non-matching socks, no rule that says they have to look the same ;)
