    I feel like Ive just been invited round for a besties afternoon get together & loved every minute of it. I felt a connection in so many ways it brought a smile to my face & made me excited to look at my stash & patterns. I loved the connection with the seeing colour in music, dance & knitting. I truly got that. Im glad to have discovered you through Stephen x

    You guys are the best people! so hot here in NY today and happy I decided to get on here and have you keep me company while I fret about 90F weather lol. Felt joy throughout! the sock is coming along nicely and it's so pretty. Stephen I see how you're not into it because you're right, you know exactly what it needs and can't vary from it except you can because are you so creative. I mean look at the pattern you applied on your sock! the question is will it look great with a traditional heel lol. I think it will. DPNs are okay, I thought it was super sexy to use except when my hands are tired, which is most times, I lose grip of the empty one and it doesn't make me happy to drop anything so I learned magic loop either single or 2@ a time and I'm done. Do what brings you joy! like you always say

I tried magic loop which was a big nope! DPN's were a big nope too, 9in short circulars are where it's at for socks! Give it a go! Who ever thought I'd be giving Stephen West knitting advice! Lol!!!

    In order to successfully knit my crisscrosses on my shawlography I had to on the second row of that section remove my inner changeable needle tip and treat the cord like a needle. It would have otherwise been way too tight.

    My husband learned to knit two years ago, when I inspired 😉him to knit his first ever socks in the round with magic loop. I agree with Linda - teaching or learning how to knit - you have to find something you would like to wear or use, and not be intimidated by learning something new - and have someone handy to help you out when you make mistakes. ☺️(He now also knits sweaters, and has knit a couple of Stephen’s Dustland hats) 😊 Maybe I should try to get him to join MKAL2022 🤔😀.

    The problem with socks is that you have to knit two of them! I used to knit a lot of socks. It was about a 3 year phase. Now, I knit shawls almost exclusively.

  • 2 жыл бұрын

    I used to knit almost only shawls, but now I always have socks on the go and have no problem in making two. Aaaand, you can always wear socks that dont match! That way, you can just knit one of each ;)
