knittingI've had a rubbish day at work and I'm trying to distract myself in a positive fashion.
So...knitters of dreamwidth, if you would, please tell me about your favourite sock patterns. I have a bunch of sock wool and I kinda hate the pattern that came with the wool. I'm therefore looking for recommendations for better sock patterns. What are your favourites? Why do you love them? Do you prefer starting at the cuff or toe-up socks? Magic loop or four pins? And what on earth is an 'after-thought heel'?

Date: 2018-08-19 05:03 pm (UTC)I am also working on a pair of No Purl Monkey Socks. And a pair of Blueberry Waffle Socks. And uh. some Rose City Rollers.
I get fewer ladders with DPNs for some reason so I prefer those. I usually do cuff-down simply because it is what I am used to? I keep meaning to try toe up again but I get the results I like doing top-down and I knit so slowly that I like to stick to my tried-and-true methods.
