EvilPixie Sep 2023 11:25am, 25 Sep 2023 47,146 posts	0 EvilPixie has anyone tried to crochet socks? my thumb seems OK with crochet and knitting isn't allowed on jury service so I thought I would see about crochet and I have so much sock yarn that I thought I would give it a go mind you sock yarn is so thin/small it might me hard work!!

EvilPixie Sep 2023 11:48am, 25 Sep 2023 47,147 posts	0 EvilPixie I figured if I am stuck indoors for hours for 2 weeks I might as well find something to do need to check if crochet is OK!

EvilPixie Sep 2023 12:01pm, 25 Sep 2023 47,148 posts	0 EvilPixie haha I can just about understand knitting as a no as I guess a needle could be used as an offensive weapon as "sharp" but a crochet hock isn't sharp there is only so much reading one can do!! I expect embroidery or cross stitch will be out too
sallykate Sep 2023 12:08pm, 25 Sep 2023 12,252 posts	0 sallykate I've crocheted one pair of socks, using sock yarn - they're on Ravelry here ravelry.com . I did a lot of work on them going to and from Singapore, plenty of hours to kill! Lots of patterns for crochet socks on Rav.
