I love your socks and that is my next quest- wonder on the heel, would you have been better off doing a mix for strength - that seems to be why the “nylon” in the sock blend - since I have some sock yarn and also straight wool, am trying to decide for myself --what size needle do you use, and circular>? Or DP ?? Fun video as always - !!!😊
Thanks, Virginia! I should have said in the video, any of the 3 pairs of socks I’ve knit so far, I only use around the house or in bed, not in shoes. I have particular brands of very tightly woven athletic socks I wear in shoes and boots…right now anyway! That’s how I’m able to get away with the yarn. Although there are knitters on UA-cam that use these rustic sock yarns without nylon. The Wooly Thistle pod talks regularly about this. Happy New Year!!
Sorry, I did t answer your other question. Always a size US 1 on 9 inch circulars. I use 2 sets of 9 inch circulars to do the toe…half the stitches on each.
Your plans sound great - a good mix of fun stuff to knit! Your Flax is looking awesome 🧑🍳 💋
