First Socks

She's knitting her first socks ever, using the Turkish cast on, and doing a fabulous job! Every knitter at Colorful Yarns was working on gorgeous projects and it's such fun to see.

    I'm having a heck of a time with my Turkish cast on. I did have a busy day yesterday. Today my day is slower and I'm going to keep at it. I was able to do it, it just looks bad. I want it to look nice so I will practice and rip out until it looks better.

    What type of increase are you using for your M1? Does it matter?

    Yes, I too had to practice a few times before I was satisfied. I'm glad you're trying earlier in the day. Evening is just too late as your eyes and hands are tired. For M1, I knit in the front and back of the second stitch, not the first stitch. At the end of the toe, I kfb in the next to the last stitch. There's really no reason you can't use your favorite method of M1 as long as you are consistent.
