Magic Loop style Knitting

Here are a few pictures I took a while back showing the magic loop style of sock knitting.


Starting a row




Row in process


as you are knitting you will be working on the two needle tips and the cord from the needle will be on both sides of your hands with the row you are working on to the front of the needles and the other part of the row will be resting on the cord to the back of where you are working.

row finished

and this whole thing probably doesn't make any sense....but I try.

Two at a Time Toe-up Socks

Well I enjoyed the Knitpick yarn I used for the "Naive" Socks so much that I started another pair. This time I am following written instructions for knitting two at a time but I picked the pattern out of a generic stich book.
Toe of Sock 1


Heel Turn

and just to show you that I am really knitting them two at a time

Finished some Socks

Well I have been working on a pair of socks and they are actually finished. The yarn is Knitpic Jester color Multi - a bit too wild for my tastes. They did work out PERFECTLY for my friend Nanc - she likes wild stuff and the socks actually even fit her.





Fun pattern and a variety of cables to keep it interesting. Pattern is Naive Socks by SillyJane http://spillyjane.blogspot.com

Now I am designing a pair of toe-up socks (knitting them two-at-a-time) with a self-striping yarn. I found an interesting but fairly simple pattern in one of my pattern books and I adjusted it to fit the stitch count. I am just starting the pattern (pattern only on the instep side at this time).
