Kilt How-to CD ROM

[Pleater]

Thanks for the review. I've got Barbs book and that should be enough for now.
Anyone up for writting a book on hose knitting?

I've been knitting long socks for about 35 years, so I think I have got the hang of it by now.

It isn't difficult either using a knitting machine or something more portable.

I supose if all the methods were written out and a few patterns explained in full there might be enough for a small book.

There is toe up and top down, four or five double pointed needles, two circulars, all the different ways of shaping toes and heels, in both directions, then there would be how to manage the yarns for argyle patterning, for coloured tops, and charts for various patterns in either colours or knit and purl stitches. Then there are the twisted stitches and cables, and reinforcing of the heels using eye of partridge stitch, creating a thick sole too - though I don't supose many people wear clogs with their kilts, it is part of sock making, as is being able to refoot worn ones.

Maybe a medium size book.

Though a cd would be more sensible rhese days.

If I email you the knitting files perhaps you could review them and make comment on their suitability. Who knows, I may just get to the point of squeezing in one more of the creative arts.
