Just wanted to pop in and say "Hi!". I don't have the book yet, I ordered it a few days ago and it's on the way. I've had the book out of the library several...
I have some LL Shepard Sock that I want to use for the Latvian Lace. Looking at the gauge though, makes me think I'd have to use some seriously small needles....
I think if you use this yarn on 1s, you'll end up with slightly bigger socks. But maybe you're a really tight knitter. The best way to find out if it will work...
Hi Everyone! Just wanted to let you guys know that I added a database for you to record specs about your sock(yarn used, needle size, caston #). Also,the photo...
My book came today!! I've been studying the pattern, now just have to sort the stash for some yarn. I'll probably be starting next week or so. I'm working on...
I think I'm going to do these before I do the Conway. I'm still waiting for KOTR to arrive from the library again, and already have folk socks handy. Of...
hi Rebecca I started those latvian socks one other time and i used the regia silk.i had one hard time doing the cuff.Has anyone done a cuff like that before?...
Hi Cara, I have never knit a cuff like that before......that is why I'm letting everyone get a head start on me. You might post your question on the site and...
It's pretty simple to knit. You're creating a picot hem by knitting straight for several rows then creating an eyelet row, knitting straight again then folding...
I accidentally sent this to the wrong list. Here's a very good visual tutorial on doing the picot edge with a provisional cast on that I mentioned in my post...
<argh> This knitting on size 0 needles is taking forever..LOL I'm using Lang Jawoll Superwash in ecru. It is very soft, especially knit on size 0 circs....
I haven't started yet. I've got two other pairs of socks on the needles right now. Need to clear a little bit off before casting on for a new project. I've got...
I went to start my sock today when I realized the pattern is for a size 0 needles. I don't own size 0 needles & weren't planning on buying any anytime soon....
Finally started my socks this weekend. I'm using Fortissima Cotton Colori and I cast on with 72 sts omitting the decreases. I also did a normal k1,p1 rib...
Hi all, I cast on this weekend too. I'm using Knit Picks Essentials in Dusk. I did do the picot hem, which I admit was tedious in the row where you have to...
Barbara posted her progress pic and it is VERY PRETTY! Everyone take a look-see. Now I'm wishing I had started mine in another color other than ecru. Oh...
Nice picture Nicola! I only have a few inches of mine done...the picot edge took a while. I'm finishing up my Six Sox Mosaic Sock this weekend and will finally...
Hi! I finished my first sock, I love it! Got the second one started, it really is an easy pattern once you get going, but I tell ya I'll be glad to finish...
Hi Nicola, I've gotten the leg of the first sock finished. I've been taking a break from the 0's by working on my Conwy socks for the KOTR knitalong. But, I...
Hi everyone, I am getting back to Latvinia! Gorgeous pictures to those of you who are posting! They are looking nice, nice, nice! Also wanted to let you guys...
Nicola, your Latvians are great. I'm doing mine in the same yarn and color and the originals, but I only have one pattern repeat done. I'm concentrating on...
I'm having motivation issues with this Latvian sock. I don't know if it is because they are knit on SIZE 0 NEEDLES, or if it is because I am doing them in...
I must confess though....... I LOVE Nancy Bush's new KNITTING VINTAGE SOCKS book. I find the socks in there much more tempting to knit than te Folk Socks....
I'm having the same problem. I just seem to knit and knit and hardly see any progress. I am still on the first sock, but finally nearing the toe shaping. I...
Doing the happy dance here! I finished! These socks took a lot of perseverance to finish, it felt like I knit and knit and got nowhere fast. But it was well...
Nicole- Your socks are beautiful! I love the colour you chose, it works well with the pattern. I just got started on mine a couple of days ago, but so far I'm...
