The closest I get is measuring the first bit of the garment I am knitting and trying to make myself believe I am knitting to the right tension.<br /><br />I'm still struggling with the concept of toeless socks though...<br /><br />C xCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06744601510746298605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987624984089804075.post-74322683532214350792011-01-15T03:14:08.282+13:002011-01-15T03:14:08.282+13:00oh no! perhaps it would be useful if someone ever ...oh no! perhaps it would be useful if someone ever had a swollen foot/ankle?<br /><br />Josie xJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307151386938476266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987624984089804075.post-84772816695353091802011-01-14T20:34:34.686+13:002011-01-14T20:34:34.686+13:00Ah reminds me of my very first mitten which i blog...Ah reminds me of my very first mitten which i blogged about. it would have fitted Hagrid (the giant in Harry Potter) Good luck second time around jane xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09997824651518446434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987624984089804075.post-41497266291261293092011-01-14T14:06:54.486+13:002011-01-14T14:06:54.486+13:00Hmmm.
