Up For A Socks CAL Anyone?
They can be crochet or knit.
I have been wanting to try my hand at a pair of crochet socks
for some time now.
Anybody interested in doing another CAL with me?

I will do this one. I have a couple of patterns for crochet printed out so I should be good to go.

Great

I have been wanting to do a pair for a while now
and just haven't had the push to get going. Thanks to Selena

I am off to make my first pair

Here is one link to a few crochet sock patterns:

Me!!
I have some Tofutsies sock yarn.
Going to knit some plain socks.. Two at a time on circular needles..
I'll work in them at night when I take my meds. That way I can get a few rows done every night..

Great Miss Kitty

I love that color shading.
I got some Kroy sock yarn from Selena in my Cabin Fever
goodies and I am making mine with that

I am working one day on the Shawler, one day on the Glorious Shawl
and I will do my socks in the evenings too while I watch TV

Sounds like a plan

I'm full up on socks, but will keep an eye out for all ya'lls creations!

I am all set up at my sofa to get started on a pair of socks
and I don't EVEN have a pattern. Lord help this old woman,
senility has set in for true

Off to find a pattern

Hey, the smallest size hook that I have (other than 3 tiny thread hooks)
is the size E-hook.

Will that work?

Miss Kitty · MANIA MOD

What does the pattern call for?? Or are you just winging it??

I only put on 3 rows of k1,p1.... Think I have a 1/4 inch of cuff so far..

I just went on a search for crochet socks and most are done in sock or finger weight yarn calling for size D-hook.
Hubby brought me one home last night so now I have a D-hook

I found some crochet socks this morning done in the worsted that I think are just gorgeous! I am so confussed now

I don't know which one I want to do first, LOL....the sock yarn one first or
the worsted bigger yarn pair first

Miss Kitty · MANIA MOD

So did you decide yet????

Kahud48 · BOARD OWNER

Still debating

Do you know of any crochet patterns that look like an actual sock
and not like a slipper?

Miss Kitty · MANIA MOD

Like these??

Thanks for posting the links Miss Kitty.
I saw those but I am not liking them to much.
I saw a pattern the other day that started at the toe but I can't find it now.
I saw a pattern book that I would love to get but I can't find that now, LOL.

I want to start at the toe up and I want the top to be bibbed.
I might need to combine two patterns maybe, don't really know
just how to do that yet, this will be my first pair.

Ah HA, I found one
http://www.geocities.com/mrsd2688/IntuitiveShellSocks.html
It calls for a C-hook but I think a D will work just fine, we shall see.

I like this pair too http://www.geocities.com/mrsd2688/toastedalmondcrunchsox.html
It calls for a D-hook
