Magic Loop Socks

I have been wanting to knit more socks for a while now. I have been searching for the perfect two at a time, toe-up pattern and believe I finally found it! http://knitfreedom.com/

I need to see how things are done visually, rather than looking at a technique in a book. I found the perfect pattern, in the form of an e-book. I downloaded the e-book onto my iPad, printed out the pattern and began my socks. I absolutely love how it worked! It gave step be step instructions and incorporated videos in between each step. I had my iPad on my lap and could pause, rewind, etc. It was like being in my own private class. The instructor was wonderful and also gave helpful advice about not getting your two yarn balls tangled, and how to keep track of your knitting without having to write anything down. If you don't have a tablet, you could also view the e-book on your phone or computer, too.

I also loved knitting two socks at the same time on only one long needle instead of two sets, like I have previously done. The magic loop method is great. I immediately download her two at a time mitten class, as well. I can't wait to knit more socks!

I must have wound my two balls of yarn in opposite directions (oh well, adds character)
