The brown sock is my first ever. What is wrong with the picture? Yes, the sock is inside out. I could not figure out how to kitchener the toe, so I just cobbled it together. The lightbulb moment came when I was knitting my second pair of socks. No wonder the kitchener stitch didn't work! [Edit: the photo is in the comments. Second edit: and below. Facepalm.]

The pink socks are my WIP - I have progressed to knitting two at a time, magic loop, and am very pleased with myself.

I'm baffled I tell you, baffled. It's the inside out kitchener toe all over again!

Well this post was a wild ride ๐Ÿ˜‚

Glad to see you didn't let the first attempt put you off! Making socks inside out is An Official Thing anyway, for people with sensory issues who prefer the flat stockinette to be on the inside. So you're really just hopping on a trend!
