[Knitting A Conundrum]

This is the easiest pattern I have found for knitting socks:

if you can handle knitting in the round and understand how to sl 1 k1 psso, k2tog, and slip, knit, and purl, you can knit these socks, except there's an easier way to close the toe. Faster too - when you get to that last row where they tell you to kitchener the toes, you just cut a long tail of the yarn, grab a yarn needle or crochet hook, and run the yarn through the last 8 stitches, take your needles out and pull it closed like a drawstring. Run the yarn through a couple of times, and run it through to the inside, secure it, and you're done.

I never graft toes closed any more.

I finally finished those socks but have yet to start another pair! I have been on a baby bootie binge lately, making things for friends and family. And if anyone has any ideas on whittling down or organizing a stash, please ping me.
