Hmmm, even with circs (Addis at that)...you have to be able to blame some of that on the ouchies right? I see people making socks like that all over Ravelry. I think about how nice it must be...I try and try...and well...fail miserably. Ugh. So, don't feel bad...and blame it on the fingers.

It works better for toe-up too which I don't always want to do.

For me it always ends up that I've made a mistake on a previous row of just one of the socks--which requires me to rip out rows of the "good" sock just to get at the mistake and fix it. *sigh*msubulldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13555919010198929132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-62127087955435833262008-04-21T18:33:00.000-04:002008-04-21T18:33:00.000-04:00I've tried the 2 socks at a time methods that I've...I've tried the 2 socks at a time methods that I've seen, but I always have the tangled yarn issues. I find that it takes me more time untangling yarn, than just to knit them one at a time. However, I did learn magic loop/2 circulars for 1 sock while trying it. That works pretty well! :)Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535096515501962077noreply@blogger.com
