I think this size will work though it might be a little harder on the hands to keep the needle curved that small. My foot is more than 8 inches around so the...
You can knit it on the smaller circular. When I tried it, it really gave me a lot of pains in my hands, as well as in my forearm. I do much better with a...
I'm kicking up my heels in celebration for your first turned heel Quenby, congratulations! Soon you'll be able to do the sock knitting boogie in your own socks...
Hi everyone! I'm new to this group and posted a previous message, but didn't get any replies.... I'm still wondering if anyone can answer my question about...

I have a bone or ivory very short needle - less than 8" that was my grandmothers. (I'm a nana myself, so it's OLD!!!) I think it has to be for socks. It is...
I knew I saw one somewhere...here it is. A child's sock pattern, but I am sure that it could be modified to fit an adult. Let me know what you think or if...
Hi. To the lady who sent me the link - I am going to look at this tomorrow, I'm just off to bed in a min. I got my 8 inch circs today, they are really short....

One of the things that MIGHT help your needles is to "soften" them a bit in hot water - not boiling, just hot. I have needles that came with that suggestion. ...
... I did this with a circular recently and it really helped. Remember to hold the needles out straight until they have cooled again. The small circulars are...
thanks so much for that suggestion, I'll try it out. --Original Message Text--- From: Mary-Ann Cole Date: Tue, 2 May 2006 19:47:00 -0400 v\:*...

Hey folks! I taught myself how to make socks on DPN's but found that it was taking so much time with US#1 needles. I had my knitting teacher show me how to do...
Oooh! That tutorial might be just what I need! ... From: Edie Harris To: FirstTimeSocknittersKAL@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 7:43 AM ...
You really don'y need to worry about the needle forming back into a circle. Once you get a sock going, it will straighten out a bit and the rest of the curve...
I just turned the heel and I'm beginning the gusset. I read ahead again and I beleve it's clear sailing the rest of the way (I think). I'm lovin' it! Carine ...
Im so jealous, that sock looks great. What type size all those needles and lenght. I haven't tried the the two circular method. Still trying to process the...
Hmmm, boy was I wrong in thinking I would get off that easy. I get to a certain part of the gusset (about the 6th round) and I start noticing that something...
3rd pair in 2 weeks? Wow, good for you. That's a great link to have! I'm going to bookmark it. Thanks for sharing. Carine http://www.melehoomaikai.blogspot.com...
I'm past that portion of the sock that was giving me a challenge. I think it should be clear sailing ahead. Hmmmm, that sounds so familiar. I almost feel as...
I'm Rachel from MA, and I have a hankering for wanting to knit some socks! :) I'm really interested in knitting socks but have issues with the heel portions or...
Welcome, Rachel, we're glad to have you! Once you get into the knitty gritty of the knitting, you will find the heel portion to be as easy as simple...
Hi, I'm new to the group and wanted to introduce myself. I have been knitting for 40 years but have never attempted socks. I've been getting the urge to do...
Hi, Francine! If you are doing the "test" sock, you'll be knitting with size 6 (or 7) needles, and regular worsed weight yarn. Now, if you want to do a...
Hi Francine, I've been knitting about as long as you, actually probably longer. Did socks LOTS of years ago, then none until recently. I have a pair of...
Hi Felicia, I ordered some Lorna's Laces sock yarn, but I may try the 'test sock' while I'm waiting for it to get here. I hope elephants taste good! Francine...
Hi Mary-Ann, I ordered some skeins of the Lorna's Laces (I wanted to make camoflauge socks!) but I'm probably going to try the instructiona sock pattern with...
So, I was thinking about learning the magic loop method of knitting two socks on one 40in needle and how it compares to knitting 1 sock on 2 circs. I was also...
