Starting over….
Notorious Sock Knitters | April 05, 2008
Ok….I did it!! Now I feel better. It all started out with wanting to knit 2 socks on 2 circulars but I had to go out of town and I desperately wanted to take this yummy yarn with me to work on during travel. I did not have time to divide it in half so I just started out as directed. I made the medium and alas! it was too large so I went down to the small and I am not happy with the fit. My gauge was a tad off (28.5 sts/4 in) and I thought that would be OK. It wasn’t. So I made it all the way to the toe decrease and when I tried the sock on it was too slouchy. My ball winder is in action dividing the yarn so I can start where I wanted to in the first place. I decided to try my new Hiya Hiya needles in size 1.5. I can’t remember the mm sizing. I will keep you all posted. It tended to pool a little on the top and then on the foot. So we’ll see what happens this time around.

P.S. I wish we were at camp having fun with you all.

I didn’t have objections to how mine striped or pooled but the baggies got to me and I put mine in the frog pond too. Alice
Hey Robin–have you given you socks another chance yet? It was great to know that someone else started with pooling. I had decided to make myself take another stab at magic loop.
What do you think of the Hiya Hiyas?
