thanks for sending good sock knitting vibe...Hazel, <br />thanks for sending good sock knitting vibes!i was totally content with DPNs until i tried something better. always looking for "something better"<br /><br />Tamar, <br />i have been thinking on the afterthought heel and also, the afterthought cuff, like in Cat Bordhi's Houdini socks. my heel problems have been tormentuous! i am presently having a break from the short-row heel drama by trying gusset and heel flap (toe-up with a difference) we'll see how that goes. right now, just the plain knitting is giving me trouble. lol. i can be more comfortable with my socks being imperfect if i know how to get them perfect first. if that makes any sense. but i am seduced by this idea of knitting lots of fun tubes and worrying about the toes and heels later. it never occurred to me to do afterthought toes!<br /><br />thanks for commentinga frog named purlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16400918039622885038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300110117375746449.post-41534745130998823832009-08-17T00:10:13.152-04:002009-08-17T00:10:13.152-04:00I tried magic loop and didn't see the point. ...I tried magic loop and didn't see the point. Two circulars is probably nice for travel, but I'm happy with dpns. I use old metal dpns, in sets of five. I can do Judy's Magic Cast-On with them (she is a genius). The easiest heel in my opinion is the afterthought heel. The big secret: socks don't have to be perfect. Right now I'm just knitting pretty tubes. I'll stick toes and heels on them later.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300110117375746449.post-46549435568114296322009-08-16T18:17:03.072-04:002009-08-16T18:17:03.072-04:00ok, being a new knitter, and a lover of socks! i l...ok, being a new knitter, and a lover of socks! i love dpns, i have not tried with circs yet, as a beginner, i used Silvers sock class, cuff down, and loved it, i have not tried a toe up, but until i quit being content with what i know, i doubt i'll try it, just yet! i hope you find your "groove" to sock knitting!<br />hazel in south gacrochetamommynoreply@blogger.com
