I also like the idea of "stopping" at the cuff of the first sock and finishing the second before ending so that you can be sure you have enough yarn :)Kyle Kunneckehttp://www.kylewilliam.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-62201687877411742382012-01-29T10:17:20.453-05:002012-01-29T10:17:20.453-05:00Love those socks!!Love those socks!!Cathyhttp://catena.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-86100286433474275832012-01-28T12:29:36.065-05:002012-01-28T12:29:36.065-05:00Michelle, thank you!

Let's see, I started these socks almost 3 years ago, I'm over halfway done, so, I'll put in on my calendar for April 2014. :)<br /><br />Dar, crochet was my first yarn experience too. Since switching to knitting, I rarely pick up a crochet hood anymore. Very neat that you're a fraternal twin!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-70600527600045132912012-01-28T12:08:23.547-05:002012-01-28T12:08:23.547-05:00After years of crocheting, I womaned-up and finall...After years of crocheting, I womaned-up and finally started knitting. I love it, so much softer feel to me and relaxing. Mom got the very first pair of socks I ever attempted, she loves them. Had a heck of a time figuring out the heel~~geez, all I had to do was to ' follow the directions,'. Anyway, love your fraternal twins, after all, I am one.<br />Lol<br />BlessYourHeartDarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-32318004250647329252012-01-28T10:38:32.307-05:002012-01-28T10:38:32.307-05:00When you use self-patterning or self-striping yarn...When you use self-patterning or self-striping yarn, you can still easily get fraternal socks with Magic Loop, it just keeps the FIT the same.

Surely it's on the internet by now!<br /><br />Nina, I forced myself to get comfortable with both techniques! I like the idea of fraternal twin socks! Very appropriate for us creative types. :)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-1629505675035932542012-01-28T08:29:45.868-05:002012-01-28T08:29:45.868-05:00I still do my socks cuff down, on dpns.

I keep thinking I'll try another way sometime, but since I can knit socks without a pattern, if I go top down, it's too enticing to stay with what I know. I love the sock pattern. It is fun and I'm very fond of making my socks fraternal instead of identical twins. I think it adds a bit of whimsy.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049476969325691637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-39462713102742715062012-01-27T14:00:23.000-05:002012-01-27T14:00:23.000-05:00That's what I love about knitting two at a tim...That's what I love about knitting two at a time on Magic Loop - you never have to remember what you did on the first sock!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.com
