General Knitting Questions, January Kit Questions | February 24, 2008
I’m making the medium sock on DPNs. I have 22 stitches on each DPN (2 lace repeats worth) to begin the lace. I see that round 1 of the lace pattern starts with a YO that seems like it would be tricky at the beginning of a round. Will this just work, or do I need to adjust the stitches somehow to avoid the YO as the first “stitch” of a new round? (This will happen 3 times in the round the way I have my stitches divided…)

I cannot seem to find them.
I am missing my sockateers!
If you see them please hug one for me.

What is a single wrapped stitch versus a double wrapped stitch?I fear that I may have misinterpreted the direction to “knit to last unwrapped stitch” in rows 3 & 4 - was I supposed to be wrapping stitches at the end of each short row twice?

I feel so stupid and frustrated at the same time. I have never made a sock before and have tried to knit blindly with this short row heel but I JUST DON’T GET IT!!
I have attempted twice now and will be frogging back to Row 26 for the 3rd time…sighhh
I am making the medium size using magic loop…of course I have 33 sts each needle and understand to knit 35st but cannot for the life of me understand this WRAP & TURN method…I’ve looked online for tutorials and thought I had it last night on attempt #2 but nope…and I’ve read through all the q&a on heel help to no avail…
has it just not “clicked” yet?? or what??? HELP!!!!!!!!!
thanks

I have been looking at the pics of socks and see many on blockers. My nasty confession about sock knitting and maybe some of my other knitting is that I frequently omit blocking. I know why its good for sweaters but is it horrible to not block socks? Should I? thanks for any thoughts on the blocking
