I've read a few patterns that do it, but it's not sinking in up top! Taught myself to knit top down 1st then toe up so it can't be all me...no it just couldn't be!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18137391627656146813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19502127.post-83050649705208289432010-01-28T19:25:25.016-08:002010-01-28T19:25:25.016-08:00I have a wide heel, what would be the best heel fo...I have a wide heel, what would be the best heel for a toe-up sock?Awahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17399303584455804511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19502127.post-85666555595761096672010-01-28T18:06:15.268-08:002010-01-28T18:06:15.268-08:00I had no trouble with my first toe up sock, but it...I had no trouble with my first toe up sock, but it doesn't fit well.

The problem I alway encounter is the sock slips down and clumps into your boot(great description isn't it)and sometimes the castoff on the ribbing is either too loose or too tight. <br />- I will most definitly show up on monday with bells on.<br />Have a great weekend.Magnolia Handspunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05128653919455037988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19502127.post-51440573794593250992010-01-28T11:41:04.985-08:002010-01-28T11:41:04.985-08:00I love your book and would adore a signed copy.

Even if I dont win, if I sent a copy to you in a self addressed stamped envelope, would you sign it and drop in the mail?<br /><br />Question 1: on page nine you have a gorgeous cup of coffee. Are you a coffee drinker or tea?<br /><br />Question 2: How much exposure did Twist Collective bring to your knit design? Is TC the "salt and pepper" at dinner, or more like a side dish or main course?AfternoonMoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14481489346107141668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19502127.post-45875936683213461372010-01-28T09:26:04.066-08:002010-01-28T09:26:04.066-08:00I'm with WingedStrategos - I'd like to kno...I'm with WingedStrategos - I'd like to know more about strategies and techniques for heel-flap heels in toe-up socks.Abby Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274286499925728554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19502127.post-4353535905157751442010-01-28T09:10:22.589-08:002010-01-28T09:10:22.589-08:00I'm a dedicated toe-up sock knitter and have b...I'm a dedicated toe-up sock knitter and have been for numerous pairs. Toe-up sock patterns vary greatly in the number of gusset increases used to make a heel flap. I'm having a hard time figuring out why some patterns only add about 20 stitches while others add up to 50% of the total stitch count. Can you give a few guidelines for determining this number?April Klichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228448327492189426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19502127.post-29960486041244000552010-01-28T08:41:37.557-08:002010-01-28T08:41:37.557-08:00Having just learned how to knit my first socks, fr...Having just learned how to knit my first socks, from the top down, I would like to know: What are the advantages of knitting toe-up?<br />NancyNancy Nordquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16731987122705976926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19502127.post-52342926720213223802010-01-28T08:38:28.698-08:002010-01-28T08:38:28.698-08:00This sounds fun!
