Drell May 2019 4:59pm, 31 May 2019 2,366 posts	0 Drell Ah, but I bet that sock had a gazillion stitches in it, probably more than my sweater!

Cyclops May 2019 5:00pm, 31 May 2019 3,819 posts	0 Cyclops I need to get more things finished. I want to do both a Moorland and a Dune Attic24 blanket (the Dune for my daughter) but am making myself finish the cardi for my sister (it was supposed to be for Christmas ) and two pairs of socks that I am halfway through. My son wants a chick teacosy too...
icemaiden May 2019 5:05pm, 31 May 2019 4,909 posts	0 icemaiden Nope the sock had not very many stitches at all, I was avoiding finishing it because I don't like doing Kitchener stich toes. ravelry.com

Drell May 2019 5:47pm, 31 May 2019 2,367 posts	0 Drell I am doing top down socks now and am thinking of doing 3 needle bind off instead of kitchener. Plenty of people on rav seem to say that they use it and its fine. I think it's worth a try.

Garfield May 2019 8:00pm, 31 May 2019 10,526 posts	0 Garfield I've never done a particularly good job with my toes on socks. One of these days I'll figure out how to do it better!!
