So despite my first attempt at making socks being so disastrous (I have unravelled what I did and I’m starting again with smaller needles), I bought more yarn*, needles and a book. I have also found a really useful You Tube video.
So far I have managed to cast on (using the Long-Tail cast on) and knitted two rounds (it’s way too small for a photo).
* I have colour 27 yarn.
