I'm full of admiration for all you two circulars people!
They look amazing Franney, and the way you drove those circs sounds very technical  |

Well, as they were knit on two circs i had the front on one needle and the heel on the other so once the heel was done i carried on knitting the pattern on the front needle and stocking stitch on the heel needle for about an inch and then i started the patterning back on the heel needle for the cuff
Does that make sense? I'm a bit pants at explaining things |
cheers Franney, i'm a 2circ sock person too....and yes I do understand what you mean Thankyou.
I thought you had somehoe actually made the heel bigger you see...so now I see how easy that was lol

Thanks everyone
Carolinne, i was tempted but resisted
For those that haven't tried it yet, two circs is easy peasy, no harder than 5 dpns in fact and much less pointy
