Hi Gilly, I use a 2 needle sock pattern which is from a vintage pattern. but am sure if you go into one of the pattern sites you will find what you are looking for.

Thanks Jenifer.  I’ll check it out.

I have knitted 1/2 a sock, but I promise you faithfully I will NEVER knit another

Gill will be very glad to hear it.

YOU are dead right I am......anyway..I am having a sulk now.

i have never tried socks, but i might have a go with the free dpns from lets knit, i looked at the paterns and they look really dificult, it will be after christmas before i get the chance or even the desire to do them, by then i would have forgotten anyway

If the S*** nuts know you want to make them they will be egging you on. There is an ongoing plot to get me knitting them but they won’t win as I cannot stand hand knitted s****!!!!!!!! I have made them in the past and I will not be doing it again in a hurry but they are not difficult. I just find more satisfaction in “proper” knitting.

i never tried to knit them- really like some of them but they just seem a bit to “faffy” with all the needles and the heel etc- cant say i’ll try.

Aha good work Detective Seargant (or are you an Inspector now?) Suse.  We knew we’d crack that particular hard nut in the end…

IT WAS YEARS AGO AND I AM NOT MAKING ANY MORE..

Paulac I have a pattern for socks from a magazine 2 pins no heel shaping just simple knitting. Do you want it I have knitted my first sock in 40 odd years and now have the bug, I don’t have the equipment to scan it on to the site or I would and everyone could have a copy.

As Paula owns a wool shop she has probably got enough patterns !!!!!!!
