G...Just dropped by from Socks from the toe up list. Glad you joined us.<br /><br />I'm by NO means an expert on socks. I've done one pair toe-up on DPN's. Took me almost a year to get a pair done. That was several years ago. Sunday I cast on a pair of 2 at a time, toe-ups and I'm doing them magic loop. I've already got the toes on both pair done, but have run into a problem. When I figure it out, I'll finish them.<br /><br />All that to say that a lot of people make their own sock blockers using a plastic COVERED wire coat hanger. They keep the hanger intact, use the hook on it for hanging them up - I guess some people do hang socks to dry them, but the hook lets you hang the blockers out of the way when not in use. They pull up on the neck of the loop and down on the middle of the hanger and stretch it out of shape, then use a pair of pliers to make it sock-shaped. Then slip you sock on it to dry.<br /><br />I probably have one or more links to tutorials that people have done for these. (Since my socks are only "bed" socks from WW yarn, I wash, lay flat to dry and wear.)<br /><br />Anyway, welcome to the group and I hope this helps.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414690312305496399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488530850283758426.post-86631349075290310612011-02-03T20:27:14.492+00:002011-02-03T20:27:14.492+00:00I love those socks.
