I've made toe-ups a couple of times, with a figure8-cast on, but have had 12 or 14 stitches on each needle-that is 22-28 in all. (That makes them not pointy at all!)marithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464504756605202290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679747.post-64402557100329807102007-07-26T09:19:00.000-07:002007-07-26T09:19:00.000-07:00That.

I cast on 16 stitches to start. <BR/><BR/>Since these socks are for me, I may well cast on more stitches for the second sock. I'm not too worried about precision. I am, after all, a process knitter.Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580769390625167667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679747.post-61375730621839575922007-07-25T08:24:00.000-07:002007-07-25T08:24:00.000-07:00Hi Kristy - I've read your blog since the Grandmot...Hi Kristy - I've read your blog since the Grandmother Purl blanket, but haven't ever commented (on any blog!). I knit toe up socks a lot, and FWIW I think the toe is too pointy. It looks like you started with about 8 sts or so; I think 12 would be much better. If you don't want to frog this toe yet, you could test a blunter toe with your second skein or the other end of this one, just to see if you like it better. Good luck either way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679747.post-15844687729578744432007-07-25T06:25:00.000-07:002007-07-25T06:25:00.000-07:00Don't be afraid of the pointyness I'm sure it'll f...Don't be afraid of the pointyness I'm sure it'll fit very nicely. Also, I don't blame you for abandoning the m1 increase. I swear they were invented by some self hating knitter that wanted us all to suffer.RobynRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731617033604966012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679747.post-78396909277373677442007-07-25T06:03:00.000-07:002007-07-25T06:03:00.000-07:00hhhmmm it does look a bit pointy, but since you ju...hhhmmm it does look a bit pointy, but since you just knit the foot part till the entire sock is 2" less that the length of your foot, then start the heel... I think it will work out fine...<BR/><BR/>plus the toe will stretch out once its on your foot...RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08844175605919566181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679747.post-88831199445006316522007-07-25T03:58:00.000-07:002007-07-25T03:58:00.000-07:00I see you've mastered the toe-up technique - now i...I see you've mastered the toe-up technique - now it's my turn!
