New(ish) sock knitter here, I've made about 5 pairs. I've always used the Vanilla Sock tutorial video tutorial from The Crazy Sock Lady's YouTube and I use 75% wool 25% nylon mixes. I use 2.5mm 9in circulars.
All were cast in with the long tail cast on, 3 of them were made with 15 rows of 1x1 rib, and the 2 latest were made with 12 rows of 2x2 rib.
So with all the information out of the way, I need help with them keeping their shape. The cast on row is always so tight. The initial try on the entire sock feels tight but within an hour or two of wear they get raggy and loose and the ribbing gets bunched, like folded over.
Is this a me thing or a pattern thing? I still wear them and they're super comfy. I should also admit I've never blocked them....please don't come for me haha
Appreciate any help!
