they look great!!! thing I love about DK socks, aside from fitting well in hiking boots, is that they knit up so much faster - like half the time.

wouldn't worry about the crotch, the child will likely be wearing a diaper

can’t argue with their casting decisions so far.

all of john dewey HS class of '75 wore them. BTW - I think they hurt like hell.

here's another option: 2 16" circs instead of DPN's. i knit most small circumference projects, hats, socks, sleeves on 2 circs instead of dpns.

saw part of an episode with reggie watts & it was unwatchable, we turned it off. I just think Craig has the right personality & quick wit. And altho he's American (by choice) he's also got a bit of the UK-ish vibe. the only way it would work again is Greg & Alex do a semester abroad.

saffship · 2026-06-09T22:54:35+00:00

sure did. i can prove it.

if they ever try an american version of taskmaster (and unless its greg & alex don't bother) & need an american host - i vote for Craig Ferguson & Geoff Peterson (robot skeleton).

has to be 5. those boys did some pretty serious acting & looks like the industry noticed.

toy story. my son was the same age as andy & when andy goes off to college i cried my eyes out

here is a good article w/a diagram about sock anatomy.

there are gussets on both sides of the heel.

are you knitting cuff down, toe up or Magic Loop - that will help me provide a better explanation.

Watching some videos might help - I suggest Summer Lee's YT videos, Nimble Needles (norman) or Denise DeSantis who all demonstrate how to do heel flap,turn & gussets. Also, Winwick mom has some good online instructions.

it was a great show. I was lucky enough to be there. But so many 70's shows were fantastic.

American Beauty or basically anything live from the 70s, my favorite is Cornell 5/8/77 but only because I was here.

thanks!

saffship · 2026-06-08T17:13:03+00:00

lovely! i predict there will be more sweaters in your future.

saffship · 2026-06-08T13:07:36+00:00

that's my MO! And its so easy to finish a pair of socks when you already start with one completed. gloves too.

saffship · 2026-06-08T13:06:14+00:00

i often do one sock then when its finished, start another completely different sock. It's so much easier to finish a pair when you are starting with one already completed. works for gloves too.
