nayarx8 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Those are a thing of beauty; you did a beautiful job! I was finally able to use the looms to make Ava socks, but not in my size yet. I have used that exact same yarn on a baby sweater recently; isnt it pretty?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasBrat Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 They look great. I am so cornfused about the heel part so I havne't made socks yet. I need to take a class for it someday b/c I want to make socks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airforcewife Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 i found a really easy pattern to use that makes the heel a no brainer and the nice thing is you can change how long you make the leg to be long socks or ankle socks.

I need to take a class for it someday b/c I want to make socks too.That's why I thought of getting a knifty knitter. I have needles but because I don't know how to read patterns, I only make things like scarves where none is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did find a good site for sock making.http://www.cometosilver.com/socks/SockClass_Start.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I finally learn how to read the patterns, I might still not be able to knit everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
