[…] Remember, I decided to test my new sock pattern generators? One of my generators creates a pattern to knit a sock cuff down, the other to knit a sock toe up. […]

There’s no negative ease in either of the sock-u-lators, right? If you wanted the sock, maybe 90% of the actual foot circumference, should the knitter just pick a slightly smaller size?

No. There is no negative ease in these.

I sort of looked at a variety of patterns. Some had negative ease and some didn’t. So, I decided no ease is more straightforward. (I guess I should *say* this in the instructions though!)

This one isn’t showing up as a link in pattern generators yet. Also, when you are at the increasing short rows, since you slip the first stitch starting with the first purl row, you need to slip one and then purl the same number of stitches that you knit on the previous row. Small error, but might be confusing to new knitters.

[…] I’m wrote yet another sockulator to create a pattern to knit a sock that looks almost exactly like the Sock-u-lator II sock. Yes, they look the same, but they are worked differently. How? Well, both are knit toe up, but sockulator III has […]

I’ve tried to generate a pattern for my shoe size but the blanks aren’t filling in. Am I missing something?

Angela, if you haven’t figured it out yet, try changing the little box above the shoe size from Custom to Woman.

Hey, Lucia - it seems like there are two versions of the Sock-u-lator II and one of them doesn’t work. I thought I was going crazy and rebooted my machine and then it worked. And then I realized I got to the sock-u-lator two different ways and they had differents urls. This is the good one - the bad one is http://www.thedietdiary.com/blog/?p=544. You get to that one from the banner at the top of the page. No matter what I entered it wouldn’t calculate.

Margaret (p.s. I love your sock-u-lators)

Thanks! I fixed it. I hope. (That was an aggravating error. Grrr. Errors for pesky reasons like the large variety of addresses for the same page are why I’m switching to writing these in php instead of javascript!)
