Trying the socks on is FUN! Unless its really cold in the house and you don’t want to take the socks you already are wearing off long enough to test fit. But normally? The best part. Sometimes I have to give my hands a rest from knitting and I say, “Hey, I know, let’s try this baby on!” Like about 20 times during one sock. so fun!

I know. That’s another reason it’s unbelievable that woman knit two whole socks without trying them on. I mean… who could even do that?!

I’m only halfway through the foot of sock one, but I’ve tried it on half a dozen times. lol I would have tried them on a few more times, but I’m usually working on them while at work. I don’t think anyone there wants to see my stinky old feet. hehehe

I totally agree! I smiled at your “when to try it on” because it is exactly the same stages I make sure to try mine on. I’m knitting my sockapaloooza socks for someone with feet much smaller than mine. Luckily, a nice lady at work has the same size as my pal so I had her try them on after a couple inches of leg (too small, but I kept knitting for some insane reason), after the heel turn (they fit! For some insane reason) and today about an inch from beginning the toe (perfect fit). I would be going nuts with worry if it weren’t for the “stunt foot.” I’m knitting her a pair next, in thanks.
