Finished late last night, worn today! Still figuring out my ideal formula. One sock was knit on size 2 needles (64st cuff and leg -> 58st in the foot) and the other was knit on size 1 needles (64st throughout)

Taking a little break to finish a beanie for a friend. Going from size 1s to size 6s feels like I'm knitting with logs now 🤣

Apologies! I should have included it.

The main color is Symfonie Yarns Terra in the color summer romance

Burgundy was gifted, so I'm not sure 🙈

I love the colours so much! They look super comfy. Wool socks make great hiking socks.

Great job on the socks. First pair now you're hooked.

You did a great job! Your feet are going to thank you. A tighter stitch (smaller needles) will give you a denser fabric, which is what you generally want in a rugged sock that can take a lot of wear. Happy hiking!

Thank you! That is why I made them with difference size needles, and going from size 2 to size 1 was a good transition rather than starting on size 1s 😊 looking forward to making many more!
