[Nfb-krafters-korner] Socks

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Linda.
I use something between 2.5 and 3.0 size needle for socks.  Right now, I'm
using 2.75.
I buy sock yarn for socks, which is fingering yarn with a bit of nylon added
for strength.
I read somewhere that socks are a real work of love, because, if they're
used regularly, they will wear out, and a lot faster than a sweater or
scarf.  But they are fun, and will last a while, with care.
Tracy

Hi Tracy:

Your socks sound lovely.  Yes please, I would love to learn how to knit 
socks.  What size needles and what weight yarn do you use?

Thanks, Linda

My summer project is summer socks.  My local yarn store got some really fun
cotton sock yarn with fruit names.  I just finished making some socks in
Strawberry-red, light pink, and dark pink stripes.  I enjoyed it so much, I
bought Papaya-orange, yellow, green, and white with dark seeds stripes.



Now I've gotten back in the swing of sock-knitting, I could teach others, if
anyone is interested, how to knit toe-up, 2 at a time, socks on 2 circular
needles.

Tracy
