Magic

§ April 7th, 2010 § Filed under Socks § 7 Comments

I am suddenly, obsessively, in love with Judy’s magic cast-on and magic loop for sock knitting. Why haven’t I used either of these techniques before this? Move over bendy, bamboo size 0 dpns, I have some shiny size 0 circulars.

I bought these Pony circulars in India a few years ago, and the points are really sharp, but they are really useful for the twisted stitches of this pattern. Amazingly, it isn’t at all difficult to slide the stitches over the join.

    Yes. Best method ever. Which I may have mentioned at some time in the past. Oh… wait… I shouldn’t be all “I told you so,” should I? I’m not, I’m just rejoicing in your conversion.

    Now you just need to do 2 at a time! :)
    That yarn is lovely.

    I probably never said “i told you so,” but I would have. Isn’t it great?

    Yay for ML! and I love the way Cat Bordhi explains this cast on too. I’m such a fan of twisted stitches especially on socks (thank you Cookie.A), your golden sunny socks are going to look fab.

  • The yarn is simply gorgeous and so is the pattern. Hope I get to see the finished product soon!
