Hello Knitters!

[guitarmatt]

Thought I'd add a bit more about my 2 at a time method. I start the toes individually, setting the first aside on another pair of needles as I work the second. I then do the same for the heels. For my wife's socks with the lace panel on the side, after I worked the heels I reoriented the socks so the toes were pointing out away from each other so I could work with both lace panels facing towards me.

Another knitter here. I'm going to try to add everyone on Ravelry, but if I miss you, please send me a friend request there!

I have been knitting for about a year now. I have made 4 pairs of kilt hose, a sally hat for my wife, and a sweater. I am currently working on a pair of fancy cabled socks, and am going to start a knitted balmoral!

I am Pleater on Ravelry.

I went to a machine knitting exhibition at the weekend and was able to resist the yarn, right up until the last few minutes, then I took a sack and filled it up with whatever took my fancy.

A fair bit of it is suitable for socks, some light khakhi to go with various camo kilts, a blue/white tweed, a plain brown, the rest is going to make jackets and jerseys - so I will not be short of something to knit - for about the next 20 years or more, if I am lucky.

I have that disease too-- compulsive yarn buying (and fabric)

Hi folks! I'm not much of a knitter, but I do enjoy giving it a try. Kilt hose are a bit beyond me at the current time, but here's my first attempt at a bonnet, just finished yesterday. The overall size of the crown needs to be larger next time, but the headband came to the correct size after felting, so I was half way pleased.

That's very nice-looking. Good job! I have a stash of that yarn, and a bonnet is one of the projects I'd considered.

It's been ages since I've been here on XMTS but I hope to check it out a little more often now that I have a computer again.
BTW, great thread! I'm Bittybee on Ravelry and the moderator for Kilt Hose and Flashes forum there.

HI!

I am learning to knit. Starting with a simple scarf to get my hands used to the movement and my brain used to counting while doing something else

Using ribbing or other designs means you don't have to count, and makes it more fun!
