[size=7][/size]thanks for the explanation and the video. i watched that video half a dozen times. next time i will have my needles with me instead of a glass of wine. :waving:
kemp, i did these heresocks after only having done a few pair of socks and I had never cabled either and I promise u that i just followed the instructions & they really weren’t difficult. You’ve done toe up socks already…I’ve not even done those yet…oh…I just thought of some cute and easy socks, i just have to find them; them may be in a book here…or online…i shall return with very fun & easy sock, but I’m not sure about the heel dealy
I found them here It’s actually a ‘family of socks’ and I’ve knit a pair & it was easy & r very comfy
enjoy your search and…then enjoy the knitting of the sock, as we all do 
Thanks Rebecca! I have been threatning my husband that the next pair of sox are his…unfortunately they would have to be black for him to ever wear them (he wears a suit every day 
).
I think the cables would be fabulous for that project. Since I won’t have the fun colors 
, a pattern to pay attention to would be great. Thanks for thinking of me!
u bet, kiddo!!!
Kemp I find I really NEED a pattern in a solid color yarn so dh always gets socks with some type of st in them. I’ve even gotten to where I want a st in most of the self patterning yarns. Have to keep the interest up so that the :XX: ing goes faster!!!
I think you will enjoy making them with a cable a lot more than in stst!!
I think you are right. I am getting pretty tired of the k2p2 rib I am doing now despite colored yarn!
I really enjoyed looking at your blog pictures! You have completed so many beautiful projects.
Thanks Kemp. I guess it really isn’t a blog as I don’t put much writing in it also I would not commit to writing in one every day. LOL
I like to use sts that cause the patterns to slant when I’m using the self patterning yarns. I have a dozen books that have sts only so get a lot of fun chosing new sts all the time.
For people with extremely narrow ankles and/or feet I use patterns that involve verticle n&p sts to pull in.
