[Nfb-krafters-korner] question for joyce and those in sock class--opinion...

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Deb,
 
You said something about increases not showing.  There are no  increases in 
the sock.  There are decreases.  Remember one thing with  these socks the 
purl side is the right side of the sock.
 
The circus yarn is this non solid yarn and it has a loopy feeling to it the 
 way it is twisted.  It sounds to me like using a different yarn will alter 
 the way this comes out.  
 
It does have a loose feel to it as it is size 11 needles, but the yarn  
kinda fills it in.
 
Have you looked any place online for the Artful Yarn Circus?  Be sure  to 
put the search in for Artful Yarn Circus.  I had come up with a few  places 
and I had even gotten some on EBay.

Hey  everybody,

I'm thinking of ripping out my sock.  I haven't quite  made up my mind but 
hee's why.

I've used dpn's for a long time now and  don't usually have a problem with 
ladders.  I knit very loosely on  straight knitting but my knitting in the 
round is usually fairly snug--not  tight but snug.

Well, my sock is sure not snug.  It's almost ...  holely???  It's not the 
ladders as the "holes", for lack of a better  description, are in different 
places.  My increases look okay  though.  I'm trying to make sure I pull the 
stitches snug but you know  how it is when you get to knitting fast.  
Anyway, I'm not sure I like  it.

So opinions, please.

Oh, and I'm not using Circus; I'm using  Encore chunky.

Thanks,

Deb B.
