It saves my non-knitting husband from taking the bits and pieces of instructions and videos and creating something I can take with me away from my computer and understand.<br /><br />We moved to Georgia a few years ago from Seattle. I learned to knit socks there because wool socks are warm in the rain. I still prefer wool socks, but there's no finding pretty wool socks in the South so I knit by own. I prefer toe-up but because I couldn't figure out the cast-on would start after the toe with a provisional cast on, then knit the toe last finishing with Kitchner Stitch. Your well-illustrated instructions will end that starting tonight.MtSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160861603848400773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9134334591698023754.post-59490988958402200252014-10-24T06:49:40.249-07:002014-10-24T06:49:40.249-07:00This is so clear.

Wraptor - when casting on, does the F number of needles go on both needles or is it divided between them. So, do I cast on 44 or 88 over the needles? Many thanks for your help.

The only change was the lead-in text which I had to crop to make the images flow better. I invite Jeny - and any of you for that matter - to have a look and make sure I got it right and that it makes sense. And assuming it's okay, please feel free to download and/or link at will.

It seemed so awkward to me because the instructions always show needles being moved instead of hand (which seems wrong to me being a continental knitter). This method and clear instructions has made it a breeze.Anki and Sassahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16316897756521834674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9134334591698023754.post-58393226885048411172011-07-29T14:50:38.771-07:002011-07-29T14:50:38.771-07:00Sorry, I can't get it!
