"Provided44" wrote in message ... Me, too! I was seriously considering going to Michaels or AC Moore, and to the LYS to buy more dpns, so that I can have several sock projects going at one time. I'm so proud! I just finished my very first 4needle sock! Oh, ho! I've finally got the hang of more than two needles, and it's not bad, which is good since I need to make about 20 pairs of socks for Christmas this year. By the way, that was ONE sock. I'm really hoping that sock #2 will look like the first one,and I'm hoping for identical twins, not fraternal. Do you think it helps to have both socks going on separate sets of needles, and switching back and forth as one progresses? Easier way to make identicals? And, a good excuse to buy more needles, and I'd have to go to the LYS since the above mentioned stores locally don't carry bamboo dpns. Provided4 Congratulations on your socks!! You should feel very proud, I think the first sock is a major milestone in knitting -- and it's hard to go back to store-bought ones after you make your own first pair. I always start both socks at the same time and work on both of them. Usually I do the ribbing for the first sock, then do the ribbing for the second sock, and then just go back and forth equally. This does two things for me -- I can more easily keep track of the rows / length of each portion of each without having to make a lot of notes, easier to end up with "identical twins" instead of "fraternal twins"; and it keeps the "orphaned sock" syndrome from setting in -- sometimes it's hard to move on to that second one once you've finished the first, the second one always seems like it's going to take forever. Doing both at once is sort of a mental game I play with myself so that I feel like I'm further along and don't get discouraged, knowing I have another sock to go. It's easier to finish them that way.

I know I'm suffering from a severe case of New-Project-itis. I need to have a
hook and needle reclaiming venture -- finish some items so I can retrieve the hooks/needles from the UFOs. Carol Luckily, I was able to resist. What's happening to us all? It must be some planetary alignment that has brought our textiles to life.. And the bizarre thing is, they're calling me to Michael's Craft store to buy more! Make the little voices stop! Oh yarners ,,,, this is dangerous ,, all those threads , many variagetd ,, on my worktable .... i sew i knit i translate ,, but they Wink at me ,,, Still stitchin' and smilin' Carol in SC |

As I said in another thread, I have 3 PAIRS of socks going right now, but am only using 3 needles. It is called the "Magic Loop" method. Google for more info.

Mirjam,
We must be twins as I have so many variegated colors I tried putting them in one container, guess what, it took four to hold them all, then I went out and bought more. I did get to Michaels this week, but it was picked over so didn't get any Red Heart, but I did buy a skein of Homespun and this after saying I wouldn't make anything again with it. I'm making my muff/hand/wrist warmer with it, it's so soft. Hugs, Nora |
