[Nfb-krafters-korner] Has anyone knitted Socks?

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I  have hand knitted socks and I have an antique circular sock machine  that 
I have cranked out socks on too.
 
Socks are not a big deal, but I hate with a passion that darn kitchener  
stitch on the toes.
 
So to eliminate that sewing of the toes together I have come up with my own  
way of doing the toes!  I don't have any trouble turning the heals.   Socks 
are definitely not for ones that just learned to knit.
 
If you would be interested maybe I can do a sock class.  I do have a  pattern 
that I have done that works up fast and makes real thick socks.  I  even know 
where the pattern is and you use size 11 double pointed needles to do  them.  
I have done them for my Mom to keep her feet warm in bed.
 
Let me check on dates and I will let you know.
 
I have to lookup the yarn name that I used to make the socks.
 
Of course I have made socks on size 3 needles, too.  I might try a  size 2 
needle, but the size 3 are much better for my hands.  I use a size 3  12 inch 
circular needle to do my regular socks that I use sock yarn to  make.  That is a 
size 3 Abby Turbo 12 inche circular needle.  You need  to purchase them 
online or order them in a yarn shop.  You can't find them  in the regular craft 
type stores.
