I haven’t met a sock pattern that I love yet. Looking for the perfect fit ;)

I learned how to knit socks with Silver's sock class and usually stick to the "one sock on 4 needles" tutorial, but with a shorter cuff. I might retry the toe up on a circular needle pattern but it's easier for me to troubleshoot working on DPNs. "4 needles" also works for scrap socks- I just have to track the cuff and heel work in whatever solid I'm using and then do 4 rounds of whatever scrap I'm using. Still learning not to knot the joins together but they'll be small and I can sew them in well enough.

I've also got Wildflower and Honeycombs but I haven't tried that yet. For a boss fight I've got Socks for Ransom bookmarked.
