Oh knitting goddess's, please help guide me...

[painefaria]

I am a baby knitter... I have completed one wool soaker (tiny birds organics free pattern) and have been knitting since I taught my self in January, I just got my dpn's in the mail and I would really like to try knitting socks. I am soooo overwhelmed with the amount of sock patterns out there and I am not even sure where to start. I look at a pattern and I just get overwhelmed. Please help guide me to a pattern that won't cause me to see stars and never finish. I just LOVE wool socks

If you google Silver's Sock Class, there is an awesome tutorial on sock knitting. It takes you step by step through the basics of sock knitting and it helped me understand the basic structure of sock knitting.

Warning: Sock knitting can become addictive

Yup, silver's sock class is the best for a beginner. Lots of great pictures and instructions to get you through that first sock. Once you know the construction, the possibilities are endless!

Oh, the sheer joy of sock knitting !
