I’m going to master socks, and I’m going to try to master them two-at-a-time and toe-up, via the magic loop technique. This link should definitely get me going in the right direction!
How are you doing on your toe up socsk?? I have some handspun sock yarn - I am looking for the toe up pattern where you knit a square, and then put top and right side on one needle and botton and left on the other, someone told me what book it was in, but i forgt… yikes. Hope all is well with you.
Magic Loop…is the only way I know how to knit socks. I love it. I just could not hold DPN all at the same time. Once you get the hang of magic loop, you’ll always want to make your socks using magic loop.
Our family lives in a rural area on Delmarva, about 45 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean, and we are one household in a line of four on our road who all belong to four generations of the same family; hence the name of this blog: Adventures in Furryland.
My DH works a lot, but when he has free time, he spends it with us, or works on home improvements. My boys are Christian homeschooled, and very smart! My teen is a piano prodigy who loves playing soccer and drawing, and my first-grader is a math whiz who loves to play outside.
And me, well I'm the writer of this blog, and my newest hobbies are handpainting yarn and knitting. I also enjoy photography, graphic design and crocheting. I'm the homeschool teacher, errand runner, appointment keeper and accountant. And I'm as obsessed with yarn as my DH is with Nascar and the NFL. Welcome to our blog!
Ok I followed your link and I’m already confused. Good luck! I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Is your other pair finished?
good luck. Down with 2nd sock syndrom!
Looks like a great tutorial. I think I will try as well…though it will have to be in 2008. Too many Christmas projects!
You will have to keep me posted on this one, I might give it a try…. maybe.
