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

[Valerie]

Hello Joyce, that pattern and thicker sized yarn sounds a good way to start
learning a sock pattern and I'd love to know more if you wouldn't mind
sharing when you have the time. I'm thinking you could make some really cozy
bed socks with this pattern of yours. Valerie

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.
