May I present the Summer Moss socks:
...my first pair of socks made with the Auto Knitter circular sock machine! I may finally have the perfect excuse to buy self striping yarn. I loved working on them, but they are not the prettiest pair of socks that I have ever knit. See what I mean:
I was warned that there is a learning curve, and there most definitely is. I struggled a bit with the ribber. Once it is attached, you can't view the sock down the center or anywhere except the stitches that are currently being knit. I dropped a few stitches (see photographic evidence above) and had a difficult time getting the sock back in shape. I'm going to call this a learning experience, so it doesn't bother me too much and you can't really view the goofs from a little farther away.
Moral of the story? I think I'll need more practice but I don't think I did too badly for my first attempt.
