Aw man - you’re not really selling it, LOL.
I did Judy’s Magic Cast On for the only other set of socks I made - I do like the effect but agree, it’s fiddly to get started.
Hm…maybe I’ll start a simple shawl instead.

I just saw that it was a short little sock…ugh…I have a pattern that @Immaculata shared that looks way better.
I also got my hand dyed yarn order to make a Trellis Shawl…I think I will wind yarn and chill with something more relaxing as well.
Today we are taking an employee who has been with the company over 35 years out to lunch…Friday is her last day…it sucks but she is happy to be able to garden and thanks to our company policies, she will be able to retire and not go back to work unless she wants to!

Aw!! It’s so cute, though! Love the rainbow center.
If you look at the picture in her instructions, that part is supposed to be longer. But if you use 2.0 needles, according to her instructions, this part gets way shortened. It looks too blocky to me plus, going down a needle size for the binding makes it way too tight.
Can you tell I really hated this pattern? ha ha
BTW, my shoe size is 7-7.5 so any sock is going to look a bit short in length.

I totally forgot to share! These are for my DS2. He picked out the yarn from my stash.
And I started a pair for DS1, but his will be long, per his request.
I’m knitting on size ones. I recently bought size 0 DPNs, but I’ve been too scared to try them.

Nice! Now that is a pattern that is closer to what I was looking for…is it shareable?
I used zeros for the binding…you do have to relax and not grip too tightly…they are very tiny!

I have several socks on my to do list but still havent broken through my no-mojo vibe. I do like socks as summer projects, though, no sitting with bulky blankets on my lap in 90 degree weather lol,

They’re just short vanilla socks. I did 5 rows of ribbing and 8 rows of stockinette before doing a plain heel flap (rather than the reinforced flap) …turn…gusset…standard toe decreases.

They are lovely–the yarn really is a nice striping one! I have a go-to vanilla sock…I want more yarn but promised myself I had to use up some of my stash.
@AntBee I have no mojo for certain crafts but knitting or crochet seems to help my mind to relax and “meditate”…it is like a snowball…once I start and finish, then I want to do more…even though this sock was a “fail”, I am motivated to start another pair…lol…a much more trusted pattern!

Finally! A sock…Not sure if I have enough of the patterned yarn to do another, but I have enough to reverse the colors so mix-matched socks it is!
My yarn obsessed cat is trying to figure out how he can carry it off and chew on the yarn…
