I’m so excited! With the end of school fast approaching, I’m getting ready to start knitting in earnest again. So, to ensure that I’m all set, I placed an order…
But when I received the books, I realized that I did not have the right needles, so I had to place another order (darn, I hate when that happens)…
Can you tell I’m on a mission to learn new ways to knit socks? I’ve got the dpn thing down, but I want to try to minimize ladders, and the idea of completing two at a time intrigues and excites me.
I didn’t buy sock yarn because I have a skein or two that I want to use first.
I have exams this week, but you better believe that one of these books, and a set of needles will be in my bag, in the car, for the rest of my afternoon (i.e. car loop at school).

I’ve got both of these books and I think they are good. The Cat Bordhi book explains the one sock at a time on circulars method; the other book is a form of the ‘magic loop’ technique. Have you seen Sockbugs blog? there are some fab patterns on there: http://sockbug.blog-city.com/
Good luck with the circular method, its the only way I knit socks now and I think it is much easier and more convenient than DPN’s!
Thanks for the site and the encouragement!
