For some reason knitting one just doesn't appeal to me. I talked to a girl who teaches the class at my local LYS because I thought the bind-off might be too tight, but she said she uses a different kind of bind off. Still, I just don't want to do this sock. I don't like to be so set in my ways, but there's just something about doing it toe up that I'm not crazy about and now you've given me another excuse to not make it :)<BR/><BR/>TerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32593984.post-33577513291038426392007-04-26T10:27:00.000-07:002007-04-26T10:27:00.000-07:00aw, poor red yarn! and it's so pretty too. i hope ...aw, poor red yarn! and it's so pretty too. i hope you'll still knit socks with it.<BR/>should we pass my toe-up pattern to danielle and see if she likes it?knitspot annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261226333872796681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32593984.post-62587510962333454582007-04-26T07:06:00.000-07:002007-04-26T07:06:00.000-07:00I tried the toe up socks and didn't really like it...I tried the toe up socks and didn't really like it either.

I learned to knit ...I think I have an advantage ... I learned to knit socks on two circular needles toe up. And because I learned it that way, it was easy by the time I got to the second pair of socks. I still have the first pair ... I just don't wear them ;-) ... too tight in the cuff bind off.<BR/><BR/>I can now do cuff down on dpns and that was easy to learn. Don't give up, Debbie. And Danielle, you shouldn't say you won't even try, dear. It's a learning process ... have fun in the learning.

You know how awesome Anne's sock pattern is.... The new socks you've knit should definitely renew your faith! They look wonderful, as usual. And I love that color you're using for sizzle, it's great to find just the right yarn in your stash.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523330836230218377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32593984.post-34599281062935808762007-04-25T20:43:00.000-07:002007-04-25T20:43:00.000-07:00Great looking socks.
