Birthday present socks for a radio amateur

Inspired by the aesthetics of early computers with black and fluorescent green screens, I decided to knit technical words from amateur radio language and draw radio waves all over the sock. It was a process of failure and error after previously trying other unsuccessful color combinations. Thanks to the teacher, after six socks, I think I've got the hang of it. Before designing these socks myself, I bought two patterns from the teacher: Herding Hens Sock Set and Itty Bitty Berry Socks, both very pretty, although I want to repeat them now that I'm better at knitting. I must also say that I had to repeat the first attempts at these last ones several times, as they didn't fit my foot. To make them more flexible, I recommend knitting in a magic loop with the sock inside out until you get the hang of it and stretching each part of each row. Now I can knit normally because I know how to create flexibility.

To design these socks, I used the programs the teacher recommended, and they're already on their way. Thank you so much for the tips; I think I'll be making lots of socks!

It was a trial-and-error process after previously attempting other color combinations that didn't work out. Thanks to the teacher, after six socks I think I've finally got the hang of it.

Before designing these socks myself, I bought two patterns from the teacher: the Herding Hens Sock Set and Itty Bitty Berry Socks. Both are very beautiful, although I'd like to knit them again now that my skills have improved.

I should also mention that I had to redo the first attempts at those patterns several times because they didn't fit my foot. To make the sock more flexible, I recommend knitting inside out using the magic loop technique until you get the feel for it, and stretching every part in each round. Now I can knit them the regular way because I've learned how to give the fabric some stretch.

For the design of these socks, I used the programs recommended by the teacher, and now they're on their way to their destination. Thank you so much for the knowledge—I think I'll be making a lot of socks!

Inspirados en la estética de los primeros ordenadores con pantalla negra y verde flúor, decidí tejer palabras técnicas del lenguaje de radio afición y dibujar radios con ondas por todo el calcetín. Proceso de fallo error tras intentar previamente otras combinaciones de color fallidas. Gracias a la profesora, después de seis calcetines creo que ya le he cogido el truco. Antes de diseñar por mí misma estos calcetines, compré dos patrones de la profesora, Herding Hens sock set y Itty Bitty Berry socks, ambos muy bonitos aunque quiero repetirlos ahora que tejo mejor. También he de decir que tuve que repetir varias veces los primeros intentos de estos últimos, pues no me entraban en el pie. Para flexibilizarlo, recomiendo tejer en magic loop con el calcetín del revés hasta que le pilles el truco y estirar cada parte de cada vuelta. Ahora ya puedo tejer normal porque ya sé cómo dar flexibilidad.

Para el diseño de estos calcetines, utilicé los programas que la profesora recomienda, y ya van de camino a su destino. Muchas gracias por los conocimientos, creo que haré muchos calcetines!
