As most of you know, I am commonly known as “Hot Flash” and enjoy being a Socketeer for BMFA.  My design started out as a sock for my Granddaughter, Emma. I started with the picot edge from the Cedar Creek Sock and then added eyelets,  And so it went…….After completing the socks I decided it would work for for me as well. This pattern is light, bouncey and a great sock.  After completing the futzy picot edge you will it to be an easy pattern.  ENJOY!

Picot edge video??

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE YARN AND THE 2 PATTERNS!!!   i am doing both socks!!!  i am using Lil Bunny Foo Foo for the anklets!!! BUT… i can’t figure out how to do the picot edge.  All the videos i have googled show using a provisional cast on!!!!  i get that you fold the edge… but to make it right side out… it looks like i would fold it into the center of the sock.   i am using 2 circulars… but how to you use the LEFT needle to p/u a loop of the co edge???  How do you catch from the “inside” and knit them together???  Is there a video that i wasn’t able to find that shows the technique that applies to our pattern??????

Anklet — picot edge issue

July Kit Questions | July 27, 2008
By Shelly Goering

Hello!  I’m working on the anklets. I’m about 2 inches into the leg of the first sock.  The picot edge looks fabulous, but it’s “rolling” outward a bit — not folding over, but definitely bending out.  I’m reasonably sure I picked up the stitches on the cast-on edge correctly as it looks really good from the wrong side, so I’m hoping this bending outwards is normal and will come out in the blocking.  Anyone having similar issues?  Thanks!
