knitting easy socks
About knitting socks.
I haven't tried yet but I wonder ;
Which one is easier between toe-to-cuff and cuff-to-toe?
Which material is better between circular and dp?
And how to knit them?
A lot of this is down to preference. So, I'll try to keep to things that are blanket true.
Cuff to toe can be a little easier, mostly because toe-up socks sometimes involve a very fiddly cast-on, but you can do away with that by doing a short row toe. Then you still have to kitchener at the end, or you can use a toe style that does not require seaming, like a star-toe, a lot like decreases for the crown of a hat.
between circulars and dpns, I'd go with dpns. They're easier to find for most people, in small sizes anyway. Just go to your local mega craft store, they should probably have the SB sock set. With circulars you have to worry about if the cables are flexible enough. ( I might vastly prefer dpns, in every instance, why don't they make long ones anymore?)
wooden versus metal versus plastic needles are always down to who's using them. And while I am moving over to wooden for most things, I think I'll be keeping my metal sock needles. I knit at a tight enough gauge on socks that worrying about my needles slipping out of my knitting becomes completely immaterial.
how to knit them? Find a pattern you like, check for errata/complaints, if more than one find different pattern, check again, ignore part that says for magic loop/for socks on two circs/for dpns (this does not matter especially if you have five needles to your dpn set), proceed to knitting, follow pattern to the letter. Whammo, socks! Hooray!
