"This technique from Cat will change your sock knitting life. If you're tired of double-pointeds, try two circulars! You'll be amazed how fast it is with so many fewer "intersections". Cat takes you step by step through the process, helping you make sense of which needle is which and how to build the sock anatomy on two circulars. An added benefit of this method is that you can try your sock on at any time to make sure your gauge is correct and that it fits. If you use this method in public, you will get lots of curious glances and questions - spread the love of knitting! Once mastered for socks, you can easily use this technique for any project of small circumference like mittens, gloves, hats and neck bands."
What's funny is that I've never actually knitted a sock, ever, on double pointeds or otherwise. In fact, I've only used dpns 2 times to finish my beginner hats. But it sounds like fun, and I want to badly to learn socks, so I'm going to give it a try. I've purchased the yarn (on sale!) and will try this sock:
I can't wait! I've also purchased a few other balls of various things, hoping to get my stash populated. I'll post pics of everything when it arrives.
You can see that I've gone a little crazy with blog rings and links. I really put them on there for me - so I'll have quick access to the places I like to hang out - they will definitely aid my browsing and shopping habit. I just hope the rings accept me! I want them to like me! I want to be cool!
I've still not posted pictures of my FOs! I'm just not sure how to photograph them, and I don't want them to look bad. They're nothing fancy, but they were my first projects; they're important to me. I anticipate a very busy blog-updating weekend so stay tuned.
