Are there *any* semi-experienced Knitters around tonight?
I'm having an issue with my sock. Heel-flap related.

I doubt I'll find anyone on a Friday night, but it's worth a shot.

:hi:

5. Thanks...I'm not at the turn yet, it's really a stupid pattern issue
It says k1, Sl1 as if to knit...and I'm wondering if there's supposed to be a psso after that. I'm going to assume not and see what happens :D

10. I don't have a lot of experience with socks
(okay...I don't have any) but I've seen that instruction on other things ( k1, sl1, k1...without the psso) and I've followed it and nothing's exploded. I can't remember now what it was...must've been -- lingerie, maybe?

7. OK, here goes....
Edited on Fri Jun-27-08 09:02 PM by Canuckistanian
My wife says to go to this website:

www.patonsyarns.com

And look up the instructions for socks.

She says it's a pain-in-the-ass at first, but you can memorize it soon.

Oh, (yelling at me from across the house), she says you have to know how to read patterns.

Pathetic help, I know.

8. Oh, I can read patterns fine, I'm just questioning it...
But, I've decided to throw caution to the wind, and see what happens.

Thanks for the link, I'd forgotten about that one. :hi:
