Heel help… single & double wrapped stitches

General Knitting Questions | February 22, 2008
By Julie

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?   

Heel Help with Magic Loop

General Knitting Questions | February 22, 2008
By Teresa in OK

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

Help — Rockin Sock Club Summer of Lace

General Knitting Questions, Notorious Sock Knitters | February 21, 2008
By Kelly Smith

I sent an email to orders@bluemoonfiberarts.com and it keeps getting returned to me with an error message.  Probably something glitchy on my end.

So this weekend I started the Summer of Love Lace sock (my last 2007 sock and then I can start in on Serendipity!) and very foolishly took the ORIGINAL pattern with me on some errands.  And of course I lost it.  Yesterday my husband found part of it in our car.  But I am missing the middle page (pages 3-4)!  Can anyone out there help me out by scanning and emailing that middle page?  I am kellybottsmith@gmail.com.  I am 99.8% sure this is not a copyright no-no because I do actually own the pattern (photo proof below) , but will totally understand if your ethics lead you to the opposite conclusion.  I know the Blue Moon folks will come through as well, but I am Seriously Impatient and want to start the rest of Sock Alpha now (having just finished blocking the lace cuff).

Heel Help with DPNs

Most of the heel questions seem to be asked by people using 2 circulars. I am using 4 DPNs (3 with stitches, 1 working needle). I haven’t even started the lace part yet and am already perplexed about how to divide the stitches among the needles once I start the lace, and then how to adjust them (if necessary) to make the heel work.

I assume for the lace I just need to have multiples of 11 on each needle. Then what? I am making the Medium socks so I am working with 66 stitches.

The lace part doesn’t worry me. But I just don’t “get” the heel directions. (I have only made sox with heel flaps - never a short row heel, so that’s the root of this problem I guess.)

I appreciate any wisdom you all can share.

yarn pooling

Well, it’s too late for me, my sock has blotches of color instead of stripes but I’m curious. How do you prevent pooling on a sock? Don’t get me wrong, I love the way my sock looks but there must be some sort of trick…
