    I love your socks...I knitted a couple of pairs on 4 needles many moons ago...one pair for my dad and one for my partner Gerry. 20 years on they are still going, if a bit darned. Don't know if I would have the patience now.

    I've been a sock knitter since I was 12 and love nothing better than a pair knit of Koigu yarn. Love your intro photo!

    Great lens! Socks are my absolute favourite thing to knit. Like you, I also love turning the heel - it's the best part! There's just something magical about transforming a knitted tube into a sock. Thanks for sharing the free patterns, too. :)

    Absolutely great lens. I have bookmarked this lens. Although I have been knitting for years, I have never been able to master socks. Blessed

    This is a wonderful lens and I wish I would be so lucky as to form a sock addiction.

    I have yet to try to knit a pair of socks...hope it will be this coming year.

    Great lens, very informative and well presented. I'm knitting lover, and knitting almost all my life... and my first "work" was a pair of socks! Added to my Favorites and Thumbs up!

    This is a wonderful lens, I love all the videos. I love knitting and you are right, it is very addictive.

    I love hand knit socks. My first pair, knit about 3 yrs ago, recently wore out at the heel-sole, and I think I'm going to try darning them because they are my favorites. I laughed out loud at the quote about them being the same size, because I tried to make a pair for my husband and when I completed the second sock, I discovered that sock 1 fit him and sock 2 fit me. Now I'm working on making a second pair of mis-matched socks so we can each have 2 of the same size! My favorite needles are Addi Turbos, btw, and I like the 2 sets of circular needles to knit socks. I've done just enough knitting with sets of double pointed needles to know I prefer the circular method. Great resource lens here!

    This might become my hobby next winter as I always have cold feet and never find socks I like. I should knit my own socks!
    This being said, you knit, you sew, you write, you draw, you zentangle, you have kids and... er... when do you sleep?

    I really do want to learn to knit socks and had no idea I would find such a helpful resource from one of Squidoo's finest! Delighted to leave an ~*~* Angel Blessing *~*~ here. I will be returning with my yarn and needles later... :)

    Ive often wished for a pair of hand-knitted socks myself. Two pairs (I have four feet). On a chilly morning some elegantly styled bootees with a neatly turned heel would be just the thing for an older gentleman.

    I love this lens! I've just taken up knitting again after years off, but have never tireed socks.I'm going to have a go! I'm knitting a jumper in Noro and agree- their yarns are amazing
  • Sylvestermouse Feb 16, 2010 @ 10:39 pm | delete
    This is Totally Awesome! It has been many years since I have knitted, but this lens makes me want to go in search of my needles. I love it! Angel Blessed and added to my Squid Angel Mouse Tracks lens
  • ElleDeeEsse Feb 15, 2010 @ 8:39 pm | delete
    This is fabulous! I really should get back to knitting but I don't have the patience for a jumper anymore and scarves are so boring. You might be onto something here...

    Great resource lens. I used to knit...

    Beautiful lens. I have knitted, but I'm not a knitter. And I've never done socks. I've received two pairs of hand-knitted socks as gifts. They feel wonderful...must be the love in them.

    Wow, that looks so pretty and comfy! I have been wanting to learn how to knit (I can only crochet and I only learned how a few months ago d: ) and this gorgeous lens has encouraged me to finally have a go at it. Wonderful lens, I can feel your bliss wearing those scrumptious socks. *blessed*
  • annmackiemiller Feb 15, 2010 @ 10:45 am | delete
    good one - I always had trouble turning the heel, usually got my mum to do it, now she is no longer here, I should learn to do it myself.
    5*
