A Question about socks and sock yarn.
Comments (23)Robin, you have been given some great advice, especially checking your gauge, which none of us like to do! If a pattern calls for casting on more stitches, but has a pattern to it, especially a cable, try it anyway. Cables take up stitches, or pulls the stitches tighter, similar to ribbing, so it takes more stitches to fit the same. Also, measure your foot from the back of your heel to the tip of your toe. Subtract 2 inches. That is how long you need to knit the foot before you start your decreases for the toes. The decreases will take up about 2 inches. That is how you get the socks to fit your feet in length, no matter what the pattern says. As long as you get it to fit around with the right number cast on, you can make the foot as long or as short as you need to. I use Ann Norling's Basic Adult Sock pattern. It has multiple cast ons for different weights of yarn. I cast on 72 for my fluffy legs and decrease to 68 at the ankle so the foot fits right. For my DH, I cast on 72 and do that to the end with only decreases at the toe. All on size 2 needles. Cables are not hard as long as you mark your rows and pay attention. And the needle thingy you need is called cable needle! I have used a double point needle and a size 1 crochet hook in a pinch! Hmmmm, a tooth pick, too, once! Tami...See MoreSock Monkey Socks

Comments (69)In addition to vocal fry, there is also High Rising Terminal (HRT), or uptalk, which is equally annoying. Sing-song accents can also be bad, but it depends on the language. Schweitzer-Deutsch typically has a sing-song accent and can identify a speaker as being Swiss. In English, interrogative sentences generally do end with a vocal rise, but declarative sentences do not. In Italian, interrogative sentence do not end with a vocal rise (intonation does not change), but declarative sentences end with a lowered intonation....See MoreHow much counter depth for slide in range + pop up down draft vent?
