At the beginning of the year, I joined a sock knitting club, which is sponsored by Mina Philip through Ravelry. The patterns for the socks are released every two months. At the start of this month, the second pattern, Derive (which was designed by Mina Philip), was released after which I purchased a skein of a nice sock yarn at the LYS.
The design has eyelets throughout which makes for a cute pattern. Every so often, I would lose my place in the pattern if I didn't pay close attention to where I was. I had a little bit of yarn left from a shawl that I made about a year ago and I used it for the heels. I made the length of the foot just a bit longer so that the heel would fit better (which it does). I really like how the socks turned out.
I can't wait for the next sock pattern which will be released on May 1st.

I have been liking the designs that are in the socks. I had been making mostly plain socks.

@bluerubymoon53 I feel like I should try making socks, I never done anything like that.

@DesirousDreamer Cool. Find an easy pattern to start with and watch different videos about sock knitting. The first pair will be frustrating. I know it was for me. I started getting more comfortable knitting socks after about 3 to 5 pairs. I have my own "groove" or "rhythm" at knitting socks now.

Thank you. If I didn't pay close attention to what I was doing, I got the stitches kind of goofed up.

I would not know the difference. I have never knitted socks. That is great that you can do that.
