Something on Socks

After discussing sock knitting with some friends, I find out that

1. toe up socks are not very well known
2. heels are worked mostly with flap and gusset, even if some know the inserted heel.

Here some sock knitting links: (a lot from knitty.com, my preferred knitting source)

• toe up socks: knitty.com with details for the toe, another one and yet another one.
• video how to knit socks on two circulars and the magic loop
• knittingtwo socks at the same time
• magic loop and two socks
• short row heel tutorials here and here (and I am sure you figure out for yourself how to conceal the wraps – if not watch it here
• finally the toe up sock on my todo list: Alice’s Illusion Socks

Enjoy !

Cat Bordhi on Elba

There was not much time to knit with two toddlers, a great beach and other fun things to do. But I managed the two pair of learning socks of New Pathways for Sock Knitters.I liked the Little Coriolis best it was fun to knit and has a nice shape. The sky architecture seems a bit clumsy to me – for baby feet may be just right, but I don’t think I use it for my socks, even if I have a rather high instep. I hope the difference shows on the picture.

 

 

Luckily it was warm at Elba and I could wear my top. And I really did wear it a lot;-)  I started to knit it end of last summer, put it away during the winter, forgot it and finished it just before the mittens above.
