Ahhh, OK, I think then that I would need the medium for my foot.
So I am off now to look for a #1, 2.50

Thanks Miss Kitty

Oh yeah, is there anything in perticular I should get to string the beads? What do I string them onto, The working yarn?

I am truely lost here, but I am ditermined that I am going to learn
to do this

Miss Kitty · MANIA MOD

Yep, the working yarn, you have to push them down when you don't need them..

I'm on to row 2. Got the provisional (sp?) cast-on did Row1. On to row 2...

Kahud48 · BOARD OWNER

Oh yuk, I am not fond of the provisional CO

I am still figuring it out. I tend to knit something that makes it hard for me to pull out the starter yarn. I have to look at the video again and see where I am goofing at

Miss Kitty · MANIA MOD

Watch this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSwG6SJ1z2I and you just put it on the other cable. No waste yarn.. I like starting socks with this one. Then you can just turn to the other needle and the stitches are already on there..

Kahud48 · BOARD OWNER

Ah yes, I like that first one, it looks like it would turn out neat and more even to me.

You didn't need both of them..
Either one would have been okay..

I worked up to row 5, then switch over to Hubbies socks. Just need 1/2 inch more and I'll be done!!

So, I put my working yarn in the beading needle, then proceed to run the beads onto my working yarn?
Then I am not clear then as to why they came on a string

when
I am just gonna have to take them off of it. I am such a dummy, but it isn't very clear to me yet on the what for's and the why's

Oh yeah, and can I ball two skeins from this yarn and do two at a time?
I have two circ's coming in the mail so I could do them this way, right?

I have a ball winder, now it's time for me to figure out how the thing works

Miss Kitty · MANIA MOD

Yep,Yep and Yep..
Yep, Just put the working yarn through the needle and add the beads.
( they come on a string cos' sometimes that's the way they sell them.

)
Yep, That's what I did- Made two balls. Then added half the beads to each ball of yarn.
Yep, you may do 2 at once. That's what I started to do..
I don't think I would ever get both socks done if I didn't do it that way.

Except of course baby socks..

Kahud48 · BOARD OWNER

LOL, me too on the one sock,
remember my first sock, it's still just the one sock

Miss Kitty · MANIA MOD

This is my yarn and beads for the KAL- Purple Hooter

Doing Clue #1- Here I worked 5 rows.
Doing 2 @ once on 2 circluar needles

Kahud48 · BOARD OWNER

I finally have everything and am fixing to start on my #1 clue.
I have gotten my yarn done with hubby's help. He found my winder for me yesterday and the beads are on each ball.
Here we go, wish me luck.
