Seabury Socks results
I made a test sock out of that pattern this week and was amazed at how fast
and easily it worked up. It would have gone even faster if I hadn't fiddled around practising my cables on the top of the foot (thus requiring several rip outs). However, it took me half as long to seam the darned thing together as it did to knit it. Bleh. I didn't even finish the heel seam, by the time I got there I was tired of seaming. So I decided I'm going to make the second test sock differently, but based on the original pattern. I'm going to do the ribbing in the round, put half on a holder, then down the top of the foot to the toe. My idea is then to do the bottom of the sock, and knit the edges together with the top as I go. The same for the heel until it's ready to knit together with the ribbing at the bottom of the cuff. I'm hoping this will be a good compromise between speed, ease, and lack of seaming! -- Regards --Anne Blogging to be found at http://www.emptycauldron.com/weblog/musings.html Remove DIESPAMBOTDIE to e-mail |

Have a look at Elizabeth Zimmerman's resolable (is that a word?
resole-able maybe?) socks, or moccasin socks.

Oh, another option is to knit the cuff flat, join it for the last few
rounds, do the foot in the round and then sew up the cuff. Yet another compromise method.

Slinky opined thusly:
Have a look at Elizabeth Zimmerman's resolable (is that a word? resole-able maybe?) socks, or moccasin socks. Sounds like you're unventing them LOL. I'll go hunt that up. But what I really want to try soon is doing two at once on 2 sets of circular (?) needles. I'll just have to remember the ski goggles so I don't put an eye out with all the flailing needle points. -- Regards --Anne Blogging to be found at http://www.emptycauldron.com/weblog/musings.html Remove DIESPAMBOTDIE to e-mail |
