I just finished a pair of knit from the toe up/ knit two at a time socks on two
circular needles. While it was an intersting challenge, I don't think I'll do
it that way again. Didn't like the toe and didn't like the binding off at the
end of the cuff. I did like the use of two circular needles though
I've used cotton jersey sheets to good effect in the constuction of 18c
stockings (hose?).. They are a bit more stable and a bit less stetchy and while
they don't last too to long, they are cheep. Truly period? probably not, but
I'm one of the one's that has to be very careful of their feet and legs. I can
control the size better with hand done stockings than with store bought. Needs
must when the devil drives, especially on tender feet. And no more blisters
(or at leat LESS blisters)
Now i'll have to go look at the historic knit site, just what I need, another
distr4actions ah well, it's wehat makes life intersting.
