Great progress. I’m looking forward to your heel adventure;)

I’m on the gusset! I’m “unventing” a backwards heel turn because I read Denise’s and it sounded to square for my taste!

Lucia,
I love it. Wonderful directions and illustrations! We need you to write a book! I would be the first in line to buy it. I really appreciated how you drew lines to show us the loops and the direction. That’s been my big complaint about the books out there now. When I tried using 2 circs I got lost at the heel and gusset. Not knowing which needle to pick up and what direction I should be going. Super job!

Thanks! I have similar problems with lots of books. I think it happens because it’s too expensive to write a whole book explaining everything in agonizing detail. But you can do it at a blog!

I took a class on the Magic Loop way of knitting socks. It was okay but I prefer the dp needles. Maybe it is because I have used dp needles for so long and my brain wont work any other way, dont know. Just seems I can go faster and more sure on the dp’s. You are doing great!!!

*foot* notes! AAAAAA Hahahahahah.

Sorry

I’m partial to 2 socks (toe up) on 2 circs. I’m trying to work out how to do the heels better because everyone disses my toe up love due to heel gusset holes. And if/when I get this worked out I’ll post it because you’re right. Blogging is easier/better than book writing for several reasons. That said, I’d still buy your book. I guess I’m second in line, though. Hopefully Gail won’t buy up all the copies.

I am the Queen of Footnotes!

It’s the only way I can think of to provide extra information withouth distracting from a “how to” discussion at a blog.

Do you have a pattern for an adult sock using the Magic Loop method. I want to make an adult women’s sock like the baby sock in the Magic Loop book. I know the technique, I just need row by row instructions.
