Re: Darning socks

I've never darned a sock. If they get a hole, out they go. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

@maestra! I love knitting socks!  I never mastered DPNs, but I learned on circs and it's so easy!

 

Among crocheters, patterns and books abound for socks: I think lighter weight yarns need to be used because the nature of the fabric is so thick by nature.

 

If I were to do that, I would KNIT the foot, then start crocheting....

@Poodlepet2  I'll have to make a point of seeking out those patterns you mentioned.

 

I learned socks on DPN's, even size 0, which are like kniotting w/ toothpicks. I use very fine silk/cashmere/nylon (for strength) fingering wools and decorative heels like the pidgeon's eye.
