I love using DPN’s for sock…I have tried two at a time and just confused myself. I also tried toe up but the heel threw me off…I tend to use the same pattern over and over and just change the leg part a bit.

Has anyone tried Addi Crasytrio flexible knitting needles? They look like something that could be worth trying out and I got a gift voucher for a pretty large amount of € from work.

I have finally finished another pair of socks for my friend. 
Same yarn as the last pair, but now I had two half-used skeins and one new. Its so fun when the yarn is self-striping, and you might not get two look-a-likes.
And scrolling through the replies, I see that I havent posted the first pair I made for my friend. He bought yarn, so I could do two pairs. You get one pair of of two skeins, and two pairs out of three skeins. 
So here is the first pair he got, where I tried to make them look a-like.

Nice! Your friend is lucky.
I like that about self-striping yarn as well. I knitted a pair for myself a couple of weeks ago. I don’t try to match the socks at all.

I have made a pair of socks with some left-over yarn I got from my mum. It was enough to make a pair for my niece who is 4 years old. Now I will cast on a pair for my nephew who is 2. Also with some left over yarn.

You can probably hear me from there yelling. “OMG I LOVE THEM!!” haha

I tried them. I found them to be more fiddly than DPNS. But they are worth a try!

My wife just bought a vintage sock machine. She has been wanting one for the last year. She’ll make a few socks, then probably quit, but it really is an amazing little machine. Good news is that we can always sell it when the interest wanes.
Anybody got sock yarn?

This is amazing!! I love the big old cone yarn…do you know how many socks it makes per cone? How long does it take to set up? I know it took me a long time to set up a knitting machines, which is why I no longer have it…
hey…warm feet this winter will be wonderful!

I know nothing! It’s my wife’s project. I’ll learn, but I am staying out of the way for now, except for the oohs and aahs and that’s so cool comments. She managed to knit a tube today, so there is hope!

I’ve never seen a thing like that but it looks amazing, and knitting all of this in a day is definitely faster than knitting by hand even if it’s a lot of work setting it up!
I bought some more sock yarn today. I couldn’t resist, it was cheap and the mornings and evenings are getting colder here.
