If you leave your sock project out in the open, it’s much more likely that you’ll pick it up and knit a few rows.

(That’s why it took me almost two years to finish my Lissajous knee socks.) 4 – Don’t Put It Away Unless I’ve put them into knitting time-out because I kept making stupid mistakes. And I don’t allow myself to let sock projects to become to dormant.

But I do make sure that I only ever have one active sock project. 3 – I Don’t Allow Myself to Cast on Anything New Until I’ve Finished the Pair Casting on can be quite fiddly and usually takes a bit more concentration because I need to count. If I knit cuff down I will also knit at least one row of the ruff before putting the needles away, so the hard part is done. That way I have a project on the needles I can grab and knit whenever I have a few minutes. 2 – I Cast on the Second One as Soon as I Finished the First OneĪnd I really mean “as soon as.” I allow for no more than five minutes to pass in between if it’s at all possible. That is less effective than really wanting them for me since the recipient is usually less interested in the design and more interested in having warm and comfortable feet but can still work. If I knit for someone else, I imagine giving them away and seeing them being worn. I want to be able to wear them and can picture myself doing so. I love the design, and love the yarn I’m using. And a couple of more that work for me or that I have heard of and that I think might work as well. There are three things I usually do that make it possible for me to complete pairs even though I get the urge to do something else instead. I do feel the itch while knitting the second sock, but I still complete it. And most of these had some issue with the fit.

I can still count the number of single socks I’ve knit in my ten plus years of knitting on the fingers of one hand. But I never really had a problem with finishing pairs before. If you’ve come to visit my little corner of the internet before you probably know how I feel about knitting the same thing twice. Anything that consists of knitting the same piece over and over can be problematic. Gloves are usually less of a problem because they are (typically) faster knits than socks or sleeves. Second Sock Syndrome may also show its face in a different form: You may also have trouble finishing the second sleeve of a sweater or in very severe cases even a complete pair of gloves. Try to notice these changes and the reasons for them.

Your motivation might change, or it might be your mood or what you are doing to accompany your knitting (audiobook, podcast, movie night or just good company). Sometimes knitting a complete set is easy and sometimes you struggle. The thrill of the new is gone, and it doesn’t hold our interest as much as the first one did.īut you may find that you don’t suffer from it all the time or at least not to the same extent. We already know what’s coming, what it’s like to knit this sock.

Knitting the second sock often amounts to knitting the same thing twice in a row. This is due to a lack of motivation and interest. But the second one seems to drag on, never gets completed or even cast on in the first place. Knitting the first sock usually goes quickly. SSS usually refers to the inability to produce complete pairs of socks. But what can you do if you have it? Which strategies can you attempt to cope with it and which ones have the best chances of working for you? What is the Second Sock Syndrome? Another affliction plaguing many knitters. If you’re a sock knitter you’ve undoubtedly heard of it before: SSS or Second Sock Syndrome.
