I really do like the bamboo. At first it feels weird, very slippery, but they knife fast and easy and the design repeats. It's a 100 gr wool, so one lasts for a pair of socks with left over.

I use 16 stitches per needle, as for design, I just learned it from my mom.

I learned knitting as a kid in school in Germany, but they use different words, so the instructions in books and on websites here can be confusing to me.

I also hold the yarn different then most people here. The yarn is in my left hand, as is the growing sock. The right hand just uses the working needle.

See, I don't know the correct expressions in English..lol.

Mosy people make the top of the sock smooth. I like to use the same pattern as on top of the foot all the way down to the heel. But instead of changing every other stitch, I go 2 stitches in between. In Germany we call it right and left stitches. Here they call them knit and purl stitches. I think.

Herr is one of the Bamboo socks. Wool is from Knit picks.
