The Fall 07 issue of Interweave Knits has lots of socks!

Not much knitting has been occurring lately as I've been fighting a nasty cold. Hope to back to 100% soon!

Go Cadel! He's looking good (in my opinion) and I've got my fingers crossed that he makes it to Paris in one piece (I'm not going to jinx him, so I'll just leave it at that...)

Now... about that toe-up toe...

Ms Yarnivorous showed me the cast on. You basically wind the yarn counter-clockwise around 2 needles held together. No knots or provisional cast-ons required. The technique is also in the Summer 07 issue of Interweave Knits.

For the first toe, I *think* I started with 16 stitches on each needle. I discovered this was too wide so went down to 8 (as seen in previous post). I knitted the first round, and increased by knitting into the front and back of the second and second last stitches on each needle on the next round. I repeated these two rounds until I had the number of stitches I needed.

Hope this helps!
