Knit a Sock Tutorial with Rainah Part 1

I am knitting socks I decided to share along with you how I knit my ankle socks. My way I prefer to make them 2 at a time (on 2 different needles, doing one section simultaneously after another example: cuff on first sock put that down and do the cuff on the second sock)  splitting a ball into 2 50g balls of yarn.  (I use a kitchen scale and a yarn winder) You can change it around if you like and you don’t have to use a scale if you don’t have one. I wear a size 10 shoe
