It means that the end of my round is when the needles are between the socks, not both at one end. Although having said that, not sure if my version is a little more complicated when it comes to turning the heel. I just guess it all depends on what source you learn from. But two at a time is definitely my favourite sanity preserving technique for socks... Which reminds me, I havent knit socks for ages. It's certainly approaching the season for wearing handknit socks. :)Ashleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688791513734509395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796229784379212331.post-74007201446276668032012-09-22T08:25:25.222+01:002012-09-22T08:25:25.222+01:00Oh my!

So you're working a, b, B, A. It also means you do one heel, then right away start the second heel, no time to feel the fear. ;) I watched a friend do it a few times, then watched youtube while I was casting on like that for the first time!arwen_tiwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13190775746566710752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796229784379212331.post-70672573736528627732012-09-20T09:23:50.119+01:002012-09-20T09:23:50.119+01:00how do you do the 2 socks at a time? on a magic lo...how do you do the 2 socks at a time? on a magic loop long needle or one inside the other.
