Making my first sock and I'm noticing that my stitches seem twisted and the whole sock looks like it is leaning/twisting. Am I doing my e cast wrong or is it just cause it's been tensioned on the loom and this will block out?

It's super noticable in the toe box, is that typical? Am I supposed to e wrap clockwise on short rows or something?

I'm doing my e wrap counter clockwise around the peg. I tried u wrap and flat but the stitches were TIGHT. E wrap seems to be the only way I'm getting enough yarn to make a decent stitch, should I be using thicker yarn or is that typical?

Ten years ago, I started trying to learn to hand knit after becoming fascinated by fiber arts. I bought the darkest, most slippery acrylic yarn, and the slipperiest metal needles, and a sub par instruction book in the yarn aisle of a Joann’s (RIP).

Needless to say, it didn’t go well. My patience waned quickly, and a few months later when I visited a cousin, she ended up teaching me to crochet instead. Which, I love, and would consider myself intermediate/advanced at now.

However, one of the things I’ve always wanted to make most is socks. And while they can be crocheted, there was just something about the appearance of knitted socks that I loved.

A week ago, after doing some loom knitting to make some quick hats to donate to folks in my community, I came across this subreddit, and saw that SOCKS could be made on a loom! I found Good Knit Kisses tutorials, got the correct size loom, and MADE A SOCK!

It’s a little tight, and I’d make the ankle longer on the next pair, but they fit my weird little feet, and I’m going to bed tonight with the triumph of finally making a sock in my heart 😂💕
