I've never knitted socks 'toes up", but I did buy a book with good instructions. Just need to try it now... I read the book 'Made from scratch' and really enjoyed her writing style. She's got another one about chicks that I would love to read as well.Ankehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891642887957584851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701717165304737082.post-55118139450656023512011-02-17T01:15:22.913-05:002011-02-17T01:15:22.913-05:00we LOVED the willoughby's! we listened to the...we LOVED the willoughby's! we listened to the audiobook last summer - while i painted our bedroom. it's funny how books and events become intertwined. now when i'm in my room, i think about the book :) my daughter and i had the pleasure of hearing lois lowry speak a few months ago - what a treat. she is an incredible story teller.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15738318324942700985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701717165304737082.post-43804026310745851762011-02-16T21:54:28.646-05:002011-02-16T21:54:28.646-05:00I love knitting socks but have yet to finish a pai...I love knitting socks but have yet to finish a pair of toe up socks.

I'm finding the cast-ons to be too tedious -- it's much eaiser to graft a few stitches closed at the toe, if you ask me. <br /><br />I like the idea of using up all my yarn before casting off at the top, but I don't have a kitchen scale to weigh my yarn accurately so I'm not making them all that tall. Some day I'll splurge on one.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by this week!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12921794837544715682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701717165304737082.post-39319004551576324942011-02-16T11:54:07.925-05:002011-02-16T11:54:07.925-05:00The Tomten books are wonderful, aren't they?The Tomten books are wonderful, aren't they?S/V Mari Hal-O-Jenhttp://www.jenletts.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701717165304737082.post-18060818016386176152011-02-16T10:27:36.288-05:002011-02-16T10:27:36.288-05:00Your socks are very cute!

Until you get to the heel, you just have to be careful that you switch working yarn when you move between the socks. At the heel, you work them individually and then go back to two at a time for the calf portion. Give it a try. I think you'll like it.<br /><br />My yarn along link is http://blog.mymummyknits.com/yarn-along-9/Carolhttp://mymummyknits.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701717165304737082.post-59799900998383922042011-02-16T09:11:03.447-05:002011-02-16T09:11:03.447-05:00The two Tomten books have LONG been a favorite in ...The two Tomten books have LONG been a favorite in our house. Every one of my four boys has gone through a stage of wanting to read them over and over and over, and they are the sort of books you don't mind reading again and again. Have you read any of Lindgren's "Noisy Village" books yet? Also wonderful!
