Well, I read through most of it, but it isn't easy to visualise without some wool and needles in your hands. I am still mystified as to what advantage there is to using this method? Can someone please enlighten me.

I am quite happy to knit one at a time, and I use two circular needles knitting from the toe up. I don't do any fancy patterns, just knit (which looks like stocking stitch).

This works great. Here are some different bind offs: Elastic bind off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mGIt...eature=related or: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJjm3...eature=related (I like this method) The bind off method we used on the socks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfnav...eature=related (I didn't like this method) I just found this one and I'm going to try it next. I think I'm going to love it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abBhe-JYmgI And here are my toe-up magic loop socks... |
