Little Sky

How easy and cute are the Little Sky socks! I used Encore worsted and size 6 circulars. I love the increase instep.

Coriolis Socks

Here are my Coriolis socks:
(there are more pictures on my blog)


I used two strands of Trekking XXL, color 100, and got 7 stitches per inch using two 3.0 mm 24″ circular needles. I have been a die-hard dpn user for years, but decided try two circs again and I am very pleased with my results. I think I have been converted, LOL!!!

I just got some of the Harmony fixed circulars in 2.25 mm and 2.75 mm and am looking forward to casting on another pair of socks. I've got five pair going right now, so I have to finish at least one of those pairs before I start another pair, :-( Two of those pairs are from the New Pathways book, so I will still be having a LOT of fun!!!

Rockin' Spiraling Coriolis

Hey stixters!

I'm from PA and am just beginning to work through the book! I've done the little skye sock and jumped into a spiraling coriolis using Socks that Rock lightweight. Have one done, as you can see. I found the master numbers to yield a sock that is a lttle loose. Did anyone else find that?

Greetings from Indiana

I've just joined this group and wanted to say hi to everyone.
I got New Pathways for Sock Knitters last week and I felt a bit overwhelmed. I'm not terribly good at visualizing the process of a pattern from directional text and diagrams, even when accompanied by great pictures. And there is so much of all that in this book!
I very nearly put it away on the shelf and re-dedicated myself to whittling down my massive stash of Opal with my comfort sock knitting: plain stockinette/solid heel and toe.
But that glorious Coriolus sock kept calling to me so I thought that, even though I didn't truly understand La-Rink and La-Link, maybe I should just follow the directions and trust Cat Bordhi.
After all, I did numerous pairs of socks with absolutely no grasp of just how the turning of a simple heel worked. I just followed the directions and the magic happened.

So I made the Little Sky Sock (in Dream in Color with size 3 dpn).

And the mysteries began to unfold. And my excitement mounted and I thought, Yes! I can do this!

But I wanted company. So here I am.
I'm looking forward to sharing and learning with you all!

Finally Made It Here

Hi all, I'm Debbie (northern California). Sorry to say I have yet to finish a baby test sock. I think I have too many things in the air right now! But it is high on my list. So I may be a lurker for a while, as I catch up on things.

Set Your TiVo's!

Debby mentioned that a rerun of Cat demonstrating the Coriolis sock on Knitty Gritty will air tomorrow (Sept. 14) at 7:00am on HGTV. Thanks, Debby, I can't wait! :)

Finished Pair

I finished my Bartholomew's Socks this afternoon. The second sock was a lot easier to do than the first.
