This is in progress and will upload some photos later, i've been working on this sock pattern for a while trying to make it as easy as i could as my knitting isn't very good i still wanted to be able to produce something that wasn't a scarf etc.

I'll be adding more and more info as i go.

First, i'm using self striping wool so i don't have to worry about pattern.
Stitches used:
Knit
Make 1
Knit 2 together
Cast off (USA: Bind off)
Cast on (turkish)

Needles
2 cable needles 3.5mm size

Wool:
ordinary double knitting

I'll try and add photos or a little video as well to show the different techniques you need as you get to each stage.
