Dennoch reizt mich die Idee, Socken gleichzeitig zu stricken, einfach um die vorhandene Wolle besser aufzuteilen und man hat weniger Restwolle. Da muss ich nochmal knobeln, wie ich das trotzdem hinkriege. Ich werde weiter berichten.
I knit socks for decades with DPNs (Double Pointed Needles), so one can say that I know really good how to knit socks. One should always face challenges. I thought that I should learn knitting socks toe-up. And maybe with circular needles two socks at the same time. Well, that took some doing. I watched all YouTube videos and really tried all methods and have found that: Judy's Magic Cast-on has worked for me best and I've thrown away the circular needles. In the time span when I push the stitches on the circular needle back and forth and change the wool thread and disentangle the wool balls, I have already knit a few needles of the DPNs.
The next challenge will be another way to knit the heel. I only know the conventional heel. I saw THIS video by eliZZZa and it looks super easy.
Nevertheless the idea of knitting socks at the same time is tempting, because one can divide the existing wool balls better and you have less leftover yarn. I have to think over how to solve this. I will continue to report.
Have a nice day!
