And even if your socks seem a bit small, I've found that the Essential is super stretchy so you should be able to make them quite a bit smaller than your foot and still have them fit. Also, I just washed up my straight laced socks and the Essential gets SO soft after it's washed - I just love it!knittinmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083582930684730242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1129859650364278112005-10-20T21:54:00.000-04:002005-10-20T21:54:00.000-04:00wow, great progress on your first sock! i agree t...wow, great progress on your first sock! i agree that the color is fabulous! <BR/>you know, when i first learned how to make socks, i used dpns. i had the same struggle with twisted / dropped stitches. <BR/>you might as well call me a poster child for doing socks on circulars because it changed the way i approached socks. it's like when your math teacher shows you hard, ugly math and then Jilliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527400827396831837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1129855888131458762005-10-20T20:51:00.000-04:002005-10-20T20:51:00.000-04:00Third time's definitely a charm!!

I think you can keep it on 4 dpns without needing to switch to 5 for the heel, like Christine said. (That felt really weird to say that since I'm a Christine, too. :-)) It's looking awesome so far- can't wait to see the finished sock!chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231712575528439554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1129848764163514612005-10-20T18:52:00.000-04:002005-10-20T18:52:00.000-04:00Your SOCK looks GREAT!

When you get the the heel, just take a deep breath, and follow the instructions. It truly will work. You should be able to do the heel without changing to five needles; the heel just uses 1/2 of the stitches, the other 1/2 can be kept on 2 needles. You can do it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
