> I just began finishing a pair of socks I started 2 years ago. If I had not started them 2 at a time, I would be in a pickle now as I remember nothing about how I did them. All I know is that they are finished except for the cuffs and cuffs are easy. Hopefully another Christmas gift if I get enough time today. fran http://martianmischief.blogspot.com/

This can be bulky and a lot of work the other way to do it is to figure out how to do intarsia in the round which is supposedly impossible but personally I think it can be done, I've never done it though since I'm not a big fan of intarsia.

Published (2009-12-19 06:07:00)
> I want to make a pair of socks for a dear friend who almost lost a leg a couple of weeks ago. So, I want to make them extra soft, but, since they will be walking around in these, wearing shoes, and other things that wear socks out................. what yarn would you use? oh, and they prefer DK weight socks, which is easy to provide with 2 strands of sock yarn if that's the choice. And I know sooner or later they will end up in the...

> I'm not sure what you're needing help on exactly, but this is how I do 2-at-a-time. You cast on using your favorite method for one full glove, join in the round, knit 2 rounds (or rib or however the first two rounds of your pattern are supposed to go), take those off the needles, cast on the second full glove, join, k 2 rounds, put the first glove back on the needles. If X's are the first glove and O's are the second,...

Published (2009-12-23 22:05:00)
> I knit socks Magic Loop and love it. When I tried two socks at once, I stopped and finished them one at a time. Why? Because PORTABILITY is one of my favorite things about knitting socks, and trying two at once puts a major damper on that benefit. I frequently am knitting a sock while a passenger in a car, in waiting rooms, etc., and one at a time works best for me. I never have a problem starting the second one immediately and finishing...

The instructions that made it "click" for me are in Stitch 'N B itch: The Knitter's Handbook by Debbie Stoller which is the first book in that series. What nobody tells you is that you have to keep the yarn under when you work the stitches. I can't explain this but when you work kitchener it will become obvious as in "Do I keep the yarn under or on top?" ...

OK folks, I need one more piece of info and hope someone can help out: I've knitted toe-up and am now into the leg on one sock, which is ribbed. Before I go further, I'm thinking this was not such a good idea? It seems that stockinette has more stretch than K2P2 rib. Should I knit stockinette and save some ribbing for the very top? I'll increase stretch by ...

Way way back (2005!) there was a thread here with some great advice on kitchenering in general and on how to avoid the "dogear". I don't know how to link to it, but I thought the advice was so good that I printed it out and put it in my "Techniques" binder. Here's my paraphrasing: from croknit45 2/18/2005: "Cat Bordhi says to switch the end stitches to the other ...

Try using cable cast-on and see if you get better results. By using cable cast on you won't be mixing 2 strands of yarn so should be able to get the edge done in one color. Be sure to start the cast on at the very beginning of the color that you want on the edge. GFTC of NYC my knitting photos on Flickr or Ravelry
