I need to say up front that I am not an extreme sock knitter – but that doesn’t mean I’m not intrigued by them! I ran across this on the new Skacel blog. Brian was excited about a special order Addi Turbo Lace needle in the 120” length. Naturally, he wanted to push the edge. He decided to knit 7 pairs of socks, at the same time, using the Magic Loop technique. Hmmmm, just crazy enough to work!
His project is titled “Because I can,” and you can follow it on the blog. To catch up, read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
I’m going to copy one photo here to suck you in - hope that’s okay, Brian. Man, I hope this guy will be at Sock Summit!
Do you think the sock knitters will demand wide availability of the 120” needle?

Ha! And you laughed at me when I said that I wanted to try 2 and a time socks using the magic loop. 2 socks NOT 2 pairs. I may just give it a whirl in the future yet=:)
ReplyDeleteI like knitting 2 socks at a time but I think that would drive me crazy!
