Feet Need Socks Crochet-along

[RebeccaVelasquez]

socks seem to be my nemesis, no matter which pattern i try. perhaps you could share yours? maybe it's the one i've been needing all along???:fc

 

oh, and to 'frog' is to "rip it rip it rip it" - take out something you have done.

Thanks, Rebecca. I guess I've frogged my share of socks and slippers by now then! I sent my pattern to your inbox. I hope it makes sense.

I am still "stalled" on the one sock...not because I'm having a problem with it, just that I've gotten completely sidetracked with filet crochet at the moment...and my husband has been home more than usual...next week for sure...finish that pair of socks!!!! I really like the pattern I'm working with...and I can actually hardly wait to finish the socks and test them out (or have hubby test them out...) If they work well, who knows, may end up making several...

[Donna]

Hi, Sue! I'm glad you found us and our socks! :grouphug

Hey can I join? I'm just started a pair using the toes-up pattern out of bernat sox in camo. I'm gonna put them in my 3 yr old son's xmas stocking. )

[Donna]

Sure, Rebecca! Glad you're joining us! I've added you to the list. )

[woolandflax]

Okay, I know I just joined this CAL but I need some help.

I'm using that toes up pattern and I've done the foot part, and the decreases for the heel. It's the increases I can't figure out. Is there something wrong with the pattern or is it just me? I usually don't have any problems at all following patterns so it's really stumped me.:thinking2 Does anyone who's used this pattern before have any tips or secrets on how it's supposed to work?

 

~Rebecca

[Donna]

Rebecca, you're talking about the South Bay Crochet Toes Up Socks, right? I don't understand the short-rowed heel either. I tried that pattern, but left an opening for the heel and added it in afterwards. There's a discussion about this pattern here in the Socks fourm.

[woolandflax]

Thanks Julie, I just read that discussion. I fudged and made a heel but I'm just not happy with the way it feels, kinda bumpy. So I'm probably gonna frog it and use a different pattern. Does anyone know a really good one to suggest? I want to make socks for all 3 kids, with foot lengths of 5,6, & 7 inches long.
