    First sock finished. This is a short cut sock for my four-year-old grandson. You can see the kinky texture where I used frogged yarn but it will smooth out after washing.

    I love seeing the pencil socks. :fk:

    These are such fun socks.

    These are super cute!! I was wondering if these would work as short socks. The ones in making for Gauge are y’all but his brother, Luke, mostly wears short socks but I want sure how they would look.

    I always reach for stubby pencils first as they are wonderful to use, and become favorites. Yours are adorable!

    I was productive on our Fiberkind Zoom meeting today. I finished my pencil socks. Now they need a good soaking to get the kinky bumps out from using frogged yarn.

    @lovestostitch your socks look so cute!

    16

    Those turned out great! I think if I do these again I’ll make them stories too

    17

    It was fun seeing you get these down to the grafting.

    @Rose the Rebel, @FreedomLover I need a little help here please. What does it mean to make them stories? And I looked up grafting so know it’s about joining 2 sets of “live” stitches but can’t tell where this happened. Thanks.

    @pinesprairie - great questions.
    :slight_smile:
    I think @Rose the Rebel meant “shorties” (short socks or ankle socks), not “stories.”
    :slight_smile:
    The grafting that @FreedomLover mentioned would be closing the toes, as the final step in knitting a pair of socks top-down (beginning with the cuff or opening at the ankle, and knitting down to the toe).

    Yes I meant shorties, bad proof reading on my part
