I bought a few skeins of La Bien Aimee Merino sock at the beginning of the year, I bought 4 50G skeins to make anklet socks and a 100G skein to make Joe socks for Christmas.
Fast forward to September. I hadn't knit Joe's socks yet, and didn't see fitting them into the schedule by Christmas along with the other Christmas socks I have promised to people in my head.
I heard about people making tubes with sock crank machines. I ordered up a tube on Etsy, sent the yarn off, and waited.
Ordered: Circular Sock Machine Knitted Sock Tube Service Sock Snake Yarn Snake
This is what I received and I am beyond impressed and excited:
My first step will be to measure the gauge and then choose which needle size with get the same gauge.
Gauge: for this yarn, a US size 0 needle met the gauge of 9 stitches per inch.
