The Crazy Sock Lady

Self proclaimed "Crazy Sock Lady" anyway. I now have a sock on the needles in every method possible ... and if there's another one, please let me know, because I will probably try that one too, LOL!! Today I cast on my Tofutsies for the Peppermint Twist Socks from the December Issue of Knit 'N Style magazine. I had this on my to do list anyway, but there is a group on Ravelry that has contests each month and the one for the upcoming month is any pattern by Nancy Bush or anything with cables ... well viola ... this pattern has cables, LOL!!

This is my first dealing with knitting socks on two circular needles and I like it so far (I don't think there is a method that I don't like). I am using size 2 24" circulars from Knit Picks and they work great.

The other methods I am currently doing are DPN Toe Up socks, DPN Cuff Down Socks and Magic Loop Socks.

I have many, many sock patterns that I have been going through trying to match them up to yarn. I have a few done already, but many more to go through.

Lime & Violet has a wonderful tutorial on sock knitting if you haven't tried it yet. Though beware, you will become an addict!!

I also found a blog of a woman in the Ravelry group I was talking about up above who has tutorials on designing your own socks!! This is awesome because I plan on doing that in the near future myself and this is very helpful to me.
