Hi Cathy from Littleton - The name of the book is "Easy Knitted Socks" by Jeanette Trotman. The ones I want to try are "Top-seam Socks"....maybe this winter and work on a Farmgirl badge!
Just have to mention that I my son and d-i-l live in Highlands Ranch. They are closing on their first home there in about a month. Hope to get that way this fall with some boxes I'm going to be thrilled to get out of our basement!!!! : )
Maybe there should be a two needle sock group!!!!

Even as we dream, we begin to succeed...even as we succeed, we begin to dream again.
I knit socks on two sets of circular needles. I don't like DPN's...my work falls off the ends. I have tried the magic loop method and it works great. I haven't tried the two socks at a time method yet, although it interests me.
I have gotten so I knit everything on circs. I love just sliding my work to the center and letting it hang on there. I lose less stitches this way.
Isn't it funny how personal knitting can be? Everyone has their own preferences.
The book I used for knitting two socks at the same time on two circular needles is Knitting Circles Around Socks. You can find it on Amazon. She has a second book out now too. The directions were pretty easy to follow and there are great pictures. My biggest problem with the technique is it's really easy to get the yarn tangled and I can do that pretty well on my own.
"Let us never forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of man. When tillage begins, other art follows. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization."
