How To Grow Toe Up Socks

Since I started knitting socks, many years ago, my technique has been tweaked and refined until I hardly think about the construction of a sock now. This had to change somewhat when I was asked to show how to do it - I'm not a teacher, in fact I find it quite difficult to explain some techniques, however some of the ladies I showed are now far better sock knitters than me so it gives me some hope that my instructions are not completely useless.


Rather than write pages of instruction I've done a series of photographs that I hope will show the simple techniques I use for my socks.


These should appear over the next few evenings and can be followed either as a sequence or in isolation. I hope they are easy to follow, please let me know.


Thanks
