Re: Knitting socks!I crochet socks (which probably doesn't help) though you can surely make knitted socks on a circle needle?
I swear I'll have a permanent imprint of my palm over my face from reading forums.
Re: Knitting socks!I do make them on a circular needle usually I make both at once on one circular needle

I'm trying really hard to picture how that would work & am failing lol (i dont knit) "Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid"

Re: Knitting socks!I too am at a complete loss with that one!

Re: Knitting socks!It is easier to do than to explain, but there is a good tutorial HERE - once you've learned how to do it, you can apply the principle to most sock patterns, and to sleeves, mittens etc

Re: Knitting socks!It really is easy to *do* - but it looks clever, and always attracts attention in waiting rooms! It's also possible to knit two socks one inside the other - carrying the wool from one ball in one hand, and the other in the other hand - now THAT is clever! (I know if I tried it though, I'd just end up with two socks bizarrely and uselessly joined together!)

Re: Knitting socks!I know what I'd end up with and it wouldnt be in the least bit like a sock

Re: Knitting socks! Do they fit ok?
