Kilt Hose I've Knit

[fluter]

Well done, ladies all!

Thistlelass, the 2 socks on 2 circulars method is pretty intuitive (to me). I believe that's what String is showing us in a toe-up fashion. Starting a toe-up sock is on my list of things to learn.

Here are 2 cuff-down projects at an early stage. One simply knits across a "row" --- taking great care to switch working yarn when you hit the second sock --- and you've done half a round on each sock. Turn over, knit across, and you've got a round.



I did 2 practice pieces and my first pair on DPNs. That went fine, but for a novice doing the second sock as an exact duplicate was rather daunting. I started my second pair separately (but simultaneously) on 2 circulars, then experimented on 2 together as I worked down the leg. Now I have Antje Gillingham's book, but I began by just doing it.

Everyone says it is, I just haven't given it a try because, for some reason, it seems a little daunting at the moment...or I am just very comfortable with my DPN's! LOL I am determined to learn though and I'm sure, once I do, I won't go back to DPN's for stockings and hose! When I run into problems, I'll know who to ask!! Thanks for showing your work. I really like the black and red diced ones!! Thanks for the link to the book as well....I'm ordering it along with Folk Socks-which has a really neat pair of kilt hose in it!!
