I have always wanted to learn the Magic Loop method of sock knitting, so I've started a pair of short socks with worsted weight yarn. The pattern calls for Size #5 needles and with the heavy yarn, it should go a lot faster. So far they are going pretty smoothly. I'm thinking the heels may be where I will have any problems, IF I'm not careful.
What's on your needles this beautiful Fall day? Have you discovered any new techniques or patterns that you've been wanting to try. Stop by Judy's Patchwork Times to see more knitting fun.
Cute socks!
ReplyDeleteIt's easier than you think. I used knit purl hunters videos. Now to master two at a time.
ReplyDeleteI am still waiting on a pair of your knitted socks???? I will definitely be able to see you coming in those socks! Very colorful, and right in trend/style right now!
ReplyDeleteHow fun. The name is even fun. Love your Franensocks!
ReplyDeleteOh the Frankensocks came out great!!!! Sorry it has taken me so long to comment...got way behind reading blogs. I love Magic Loop and it is the only way I knit socks anymore. It takes a little while to get use to it but I like it way better than DPN. Worsted weight should work up quickly... have fun!
ReplyDeleteI just went to your link about the Bamboo Bloom cowl, and it said that post no longer exists. Do love your Frankensocks though; what a great way to use up odds and ends!
