Toe Up Sock Knitting?

[mizarchivist]

I realize I am not likely to get as many responses today as I would if it were not a holiday, but I'm thinking of it, and I'll ask again if there's nothing but crickets.

Does anyone have the knowledge of toe-up sock knitting, plus knit 2 at once- AND have the time to show me before Christmas? I don't expect to finish them between now and then, but I at least need to start. I'm afraid it has to be a show situation becuase of my ever-so-fun taught myself so need an extra hand because directions often look like greek. Or chinese. Or both? I'm willing to go to a knit shop if someone has a preferred location.
Last socks I made for dad were probably a bit snug because I was paranoid about running out (and I didn't by a lot) and then he'd have lame 80s foot warmers. Very undad. He was quite keen on a new set this year, so... there you have it.

There is a knitting group that meets at a Panera Bread in Nashua. Bit of a fur piece, but the nearest other knitters I know of are farther.

I can teach you how to knit toe-up, but not the two at once version.

neat :) That's a good start. Which days are usually better for you?

Ones after Dec. 6th? After that it's pretty open, at least until the 17th when I head to Colorado for the holidays.

sounds like a plan. Hopefully by then Starkeymonster will show me the 2 together

I can do 2 at once (on long circs)

excellent. I'd been wanting to hang with you, so now we have an excellent excuse.
When are *you* available?

can i get in on this too? i've been idly debating learning socks, and this method sounds faster than others..

I don't mind sharing if starkey doesn't :)

I like to share!

Next week (not Monday) in evenings is possible. And hrm. I would need to poke at my calendar more. But first, coffee! and pie for breakfast.

I have salsa classes on Tuesday, but Wednesday and Thursday are still open.

I just talked my mom into buying the book so she can teach me when I visit her. I promised to teach her to knit if she'll interpret the directions for me. :/
