If your Dad wear typical men's shoes, they might scrunch the top of those cables a lot and not be too comfortable. But you have lots of great suggestions for making it work, so do what feels best to you!Allieswhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498922034856527140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647454.post-1162006630389689032006-10-27T23:37:00.000-04:002006-10-27T23:37:00.000-04:00I'm not a 2 circs knitter, but this would be a goo...I'm not a 2 circs knitter, but this would be a good time to do that. If you use 2 sizes of DPNs you may end up using the wrong needle in the wrong area (or is that the right needle in the wrong area?). I <B>KNOW</B> I would do that. And not notice until I hade worked 6 rounds.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Adrienne's advice even though I have never done this myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647454.post-1161987676365598612006-10-27T18:21:00.000-04:002006-10-27T18:21:00.000-04:00oops! one more thing....keep 36 sts on the instep ...oops! one more thing....keep 36 sts on the instep and 32 sts for the sole. i would then decrease 4 sts on the instep before starting the toe decreases.<BR/><BR/>been there; done this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647454.post-1161987540103308462006-10-27T18:19:00.000-04:002006-10-27T18:19:00.000-04:00hi kerryis there a reason you can't do one on two ...hi kerry<BR/><BR/>is there a reason you can't do one on two circs? use the size 1 circ on the sole and size 2 circ on the instep. i've done that before when the stitch pattern pulls in too much. i don't like dp's!<BR/><BR/>adrienne in the bellybutton of california<BR/>magic looper all the way!<BR/><BR/>ps. very nice sock!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647454.post-1161985723222960192006-10-27T17:48:00.000-04:002006-10-27T17:48:00.000-04:00Well I have limited sock knowledge, but I would ag...Well I have limited sock knowledge, but I would agree with the bigger on top, smaller on the bottom way. I don't like not carrying the pattern down the foot so I would do what I could to accomplish that.Yeah Sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03989848317356232631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647454.post-1161980189573021872006-10-27T16:16:00.000-04:002006-10-27T16:16:00.000-04:00Well, I love dpns, so I don't think it's all that ...Well, I love dpns, so I don't think it's all that insane to switch...but I would keep the pattern down the instep on the 2's, and do the sole of the foot on the smaller needle size. I've even seen a couple books suggest doing that so that the sole is a firmer fabric and has more wear to it.<BR/>Not sure what my 2-cents is worth as I'm only on a couple hours of sleep. 2-cents, I guess LOL.MsAmpuTeeHeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733762919331458954noreply@blogger.com
