best sock book?
I just subscribed to this group. I do knit but mostly I quilt. I am looking
for a sock book that teaches knitting on double circular needles (2 at a time). My sock knitting experience is limited. I started a sock about 3 years ago and when I started to knit on it again, I had totally lost my place. Soooooo, I ripped it out. I really don't want to fall into the SSS so I though doing both at once would cure me! I appreciate your recommendations! ~~~~~~~ Laurie G. in CA http://www.finishingtouchesquilts.com http://community.webshots.com/user/lagrant7 ~~~~~~~ |

Knitting Circles Around Socks: Knit Two at a Time on Circular Needles DA I agree with DA, "Knitting Circles Around Socks" will meet your needs. I have it and it will teach you what you want to do. I do, highly recommend "Sensational Knitted Socks" by Charlene Schurch. She is great and the charts she provides will used by you many times if you knit socks very often. I recommend both if you can.

When I was out on Thursday I bought "Knitting Circles Around Socks....."
based on your recommendations. It looks like a wonderful book! I like the tutorial using worsted weight yarn for your first socks. I'm going to give that a try!!!

Personally, I hate that method. I tried it twice, and it worked, but I felt as though I was working with spiders. But that's just me! It may be fine for you. Higs, Katherine |

I tried using two circular needles a while ago, and also gave up
because it was too difficult to handle the ends flying all over the place. I had tried it with the 24" needles that are recommended in most of the books I've read. Then I tried 16" needles since half a sock on one needle really isn't very long, and the shorter needles work like a charm for me.
