Socks can never be too bright! I love bright colors and have the socks to prove it.

Wonderful. My fashionista DD approves too.

What size yarn and needles? It looks like you're doing Magic Loop w/ Knitpicks 32", right? How's that working for you?

**YankeeMom** · 07-20-2007, 09:05 AM

I LOVE Magic Loop!! Whenever I can, that is what I use. These are on Knitpicks 32" US1 (2.25mm) circs, so not too bad. I haven't worked on them in a couple of days. I'm contemplating frogging it back above the heel flap & doing a short-row heel instead to see if that helps the striping stay a little more even. I don't know if that will work though, because the leg is 84 sts and the foot is 76 sts.

I have learned to love Magic Loop too. But it took me a long time to ease into it ... I stuck to bamboo for almost 2 years before I went to 2 circs.

Then I splurged and got a 40" needle ... and eventually learned Magic Loop.

Now it's my favorite because stitches don't drop off the needle so easily.

I'm still at the stage of 2x2 ribbing, then garter stitch for socks. I am just flabbergasted at your progress. I can't see a Potonamus in my future for several years.

BTW, did you see that discontinued brand name yarn (https://discontinuedbrandnameyarn.com)
has overstock sock yarn in solids? Word on the Knitty Board is that it's Cherry Tree Hill.
