sock club!

[domtheknight]

Hi knitters! I just wanted to let you all know about a sock club we're starting up on Dreamwidth - dwsockclub. We've just picked a first pattern, and will be probably taking two months or so to work on it before picking the next.

Come join in if you're interested!

Oooh. I know some increases and decreases, and feel fairly confident in being able to pick them up. I'm more nervous about working small (medium?) diameter in the round, actually! I'm working on fingerless gloves right now, and it's just a bit of a pain to have to constantly shift the stitches on the circular needles *g*

Two words: Magic Loop. Makes circular knitting dead easy, however few stitches you have on a needle!

Oh, yes, thank you. I love the magic loop technique! It's just that the stitches generally need to be moved along the needle so very often, otherwise the needles quickly get hard to manage.

Though, since I last posted a comment, I've managed to finish one glove, and I found the smaller diameter much harder than the bag I'd first done (which is what I learned magic loop on) -- so I am feeling slightly more confident that I might be able to do a sock without being frustrated.
