Toe Up Sock Post

[redrose]

I am experimenting with different toe up sock patterns, and I should document results.

Priscilla Gibson-Roberts Simple Socks pattern is cool, but not good for regularly striped yarns, because the short row heels and toes are not symmetrical. The crochet cast on is better for me than the cast on given in the book.

With my stripey yarn, I tried another toe up cast on: the cast on given in the Summer 2007 issue of Interweave Knits. I don't like it - it's fiddly and non-intuitive, and hard for me to do.

I would like to try Judy's Magic Cast On, and the cast on given by elann and knitty.

I will edit this post as I have more info.

Do try Judy's Magic Cast On! It's easier to do with yarn and needles in your hands than any tutorial makes it look, and it looks just perfect.
