Not row by row, but I'll do the ribbing for both socks and then, I won't start the heel on one, until I've finished the leg on the other sock too, etc.. It really does help!Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15682619532620576827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-546737694835130798.post-57073756321698067012011-03-30T05:09:50.238+11:002011-03-30T05:09:50.238+11:00Love the socks.

If you are doing plain socks there is no better way to get a pair, it is so much quicker. If you don't like circs I know people who cast on each sock and knit rows alternately on each sock, so you are knitting two at a time, just on two different sets of needles, which I think is quite a good approach.Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13254578516714017969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-546737694835130798.post-1928767935680641922011-03-29T16:08:32.651+11:002011-03-29T16:08:32.651+11:00what beautiful socks!

But if you don't at least finish that first pair then I am going to find out where you live and come and steal them because they are FAB and only need toes! Hmm that sounds a little stalkerish, but seriously, they are nice socks, what yarn are they?Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05294233444508822687noreply@blogger.com
