Lots of socks in my future. After this one's mate, I will try the double method. Since I did these on two circular needles it should be easy. I love my dpns too, but the circular needles are easier for this toe-up method I think.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747308009364094199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-65318663261558287832012-08-10T08:41:25.346-04:002012-08-10T08:41:25.346-04:00Jarka,

I completely understand your sentiments. I felt the same way when I finished my first pair. There is a way to do two at a time toe up socks. I've heard that once you learn it that you never go back. It is *that* revolutionary. I haven't looked too much into it though because I like using my dpns. But if you could make two at once it would really save time that's for sure. Btw, guess what I bought myself at a local knit store…metal size 1 circulars! We were in the "big town" the day before my birthday and I made sure I stopped by my favorite shop. So, now that you've done all of the hard work and ironed out all of the rough patches I should be good to go on this pattern! ;)<br /><br />P.S. I really like your "adjustments" to the lace pattern. It looks like the faux cable stitch I did in a hat pattern.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076870583313429655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-35480506027253039662012-08-08T17:08:42.567-04:002012-08-08T17:08:42.567-04:00I keep saying I'll knit a sock but I never do....I keep saying I'll knit a sock but I never do...always start different project...<br />I love your sock! and the lace pattern is really nice and I love the color changes...<br />I know the feeling you get when you finish a project - it feels great - enjoy the happiness! :)Jarkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04229884725653230844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-44321946905695549802012-08-08T15:36:11.066-04:002012-08-08T15:36:11.066-04:00I love the sock.
