I knit my first ever pair of socks. My sister was my coach; she also knit a pair. Basic instructions are in the tagged book. We did our own colour and stitch variations. #knittersofLitsy

Making progress on these socks. I‘m determined to finish them today because we are leaving Banff tomorrow. #knittersofLitsy

j.rye I have never finished a complete set of socks. 😂 I have a bunch of single socks with 1/2 done mates. 4y
Suet624 It‘s definitely a great idea to do two at the same time for the reason that @j.rye states. These are gorgeous Lindy. 4y
Fridameetslucy That‘s the way to do them! I‘m trying to get myself to knit without looking. This has required me to have serious movie nights:) last night I knit a sleeve to the Wizard of Oz 4y

Lindy @j.rye Two at the same time is definitely the way to go. 🧦🧦 4y
Lindy @Suet624 Thanks!😘 4y
Lindy @Fridameetslucy Are you working on the swingy v-neck with wide 3/4 length sleeves? Whatever project it is, please tag me when you post a photo of it. 😊 4y
Lindy @erzascarletbookgasm Thanks a bunch. I love working with colours. 😊 4y

I‘m making progress on these socks, knitting in my favourite spot at the Banff Centre: the library. #knittersofLitsy

julesG Great! Two at once. Still have to try this. Would probably help with my Single-Stock-Syndrome. 4y
LibrarianRyan It almost looks like you are making a little bitty polka dot bikini.

squirrelbrain That‘s what I thought too @librarianryan! Love your view Lindy.❤️ 4y

Smrloomis Wow, that view! 😍 4y
AlaMich Banff is on my bucket list! 4y
Cathythoughts Lovely pic ! Proud knitter 👍🏻❤️ 4y
Suet624 I love everything about this post. 4y
marleed So gorgeous- and nice that you can keep your toes warm. 4y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Beautiful!! Love them! 💜 4y
Hooked_on_books Before I read your caption, I thought this was a bikini! 😆 I can see why you like that spot. It‘s gorgeous. 😍 4y
Lindy @Hooked_on_books 👙 🤪 4y
Lindy @julesG It‘s working well. I‘ve used this method for mittens before but not socks. I‘m designing the colour work as I go and this way both socks will be the same. 😊 4y
Lindy @Smrloomis I‘m lucky that my brother lives here. And he has a spare bedroom. 4y
Lindy @AlaMich we are lucky to have such clear sunny weather. 😊Hope you make it to Banff soon. (edited) 4y
Lindy @Cathythoughts Thanks! 🤗 4y
Lindy @marleed Thanks! It was getting so toasty in the sun that I moved to a different spot. 4y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Your view!!! Gorgeous 🏔❤️ 4y
julesG You're going toe-up, too. What kind of heel are you going to use? 4y
erzascarletbookgasm I didn‘t recognise them as socks 🧦! 😄 Love that view! 💙 4y
Lindy @julesG I don‘t know the name; it‘s the heel that‘s in the tagged book. Short rows are involved. I‘m still on the gusset increases, but I will tag you with a photo when I get the heels done. 4y
Lindy @erzascarletbookgasm After another day of knitting, they still don‘t look like socks. More like mittens at this point. I should be doing the heels tomorrow, and then they will be identifiable. 😊 4y
julesG Thanks! 4y
