You MUST try socks on two circulars. No dropped stitches. Those dpns are a bitch!

My second sock I kitchenered like ten times and it still didn't look perfect. I can't imagine doing with extra thread.

Love the colorway.

I love your socks, and this color is 'Miammm'

I haven't tried adult socks yet but on the baby ones I've done, I used a 3 needle cast off on the WS of the work, is it doable on a bigger size?

i don't really like green and i don't really like orange...so why is it that I LOVE this colour???

I love this colorway! what a pretty sock!

gorgeous yarn! oh my god!

i have stopped kitchenering toes and started using a three-needle bindoff instead. i just turn the sock inside out through the toe opening, and voila! so much quicker and easier, and the bindoff ridge is hardly noticeable with the thin sock yarn.

The colors of your sock are great! I've never knit a sock, so I can't offer any advice. :( But I hope yours turn out great!

I think the sock looks great! And I love the colors!

I'm sock crazy too! I'm knitting on da retro as I type!

I love those socks...very pumpkiny- makes me want to hand out candy wearing them!

I did my first/last toes with the grafting article from knitty...and I had success with that.

Good Luck!

What a pretty sock and I love the color !

What a pretty, pretty colorway! From here, the toe looks fine :-).

The socks are lovely! I had never thought of using a 3-needle bind-off for the toe...now I'm dying to try it :)

More orange is always better.

;-)

cutie pie sock. an orange toe would be a cute surprise after kicking off your shoes(careful of my opinion though, my husband says i dress the baby like mimi bobeck). but, the sock really looks fine as is too.

beautiful sock!! i think more orange at the toe would be awesome (of course if you're ripping out anyway)... otherwise it looks great

I actually didn't think it looked all that pinchy from the picture but I'm pretty lazy about ripping back so it's got to be something pretty major before I'd open up the toe on a lovely finished sock. :-) I love that colorway - it would look great with an orange toe if you do rip...and wouldn't take long to knit back up either.

The sock is perfect as is. Lovely colourway.

And thanks for the lead on hook/point needles. I was wondering where to get some, short of a trip to Portugal. I just found Lacis' website thanks to your picture.

BTW, I finished my Anouk matching hat and I'm very pleased with it, so now I also belong to the Anouk matching hat knitting sisterhood. :-)

Personally, I think the toe looks fine as it is. But then, when it comes to kitchener stitch, my policy is close enough! :P

I think an orange toe without an orange heel would look cute too. But personally as I am not a huge fan of orange, I would just rip it back out and redo the kitchener on the toe with the yarn you have.

Besides that... rocking socks! :)

They look marvelous...since they'll be in a shoe the pinch won't matter a bit!

Wow, cool socks! I think the toe would look neat with the reinforcement - like twinkly toes :), totally unique. I've been using a darning egg with my toes - it seems to make the kitchenering easier for me. Lucky me, it's an ancestral egg :o)

You socks look really good, Froggy! Love those colors.

I think it all looks fine! What a beautiful colorway! My first attempt at kitcheners stitch was a mess and I think it looked aweful. The second sock was much better...

I love the colorway! And, Koigu! MMMMMmmmm. My feet are jealous! I get the pinchy toes when I finish my socks, too. It disappears after washing/blocking every time.

When you said there was something wrong with the toe, I looked REALLY hard to try to figure out waht it was but I could not pick it out. I think it matches and looks great, I wouldn't worry a thing about it.

I'm hard pressed to see that pinch, Froggy. But of course, this is from the woman with the huge brown blobbo sock. ;-)

I think the washing/blocking will do the trick. Bravo on the socks!

Why Froggy! It seems only yesterday you cast on for your first sock ever.

Great loooking sock! lovely color!

socks on two circs my dear---i love 'em this way. and now i've just recently started my first pair toe up and i'm a happy camper. i think your socks look great and i'd just leave it as is.

Looking great!!

For some reason, I'm not getting your Blogline updates.

Oh go on and rip back, it won't hurt...much. I ripped all the way back to the ribbing on one last weekend. And ok, so what if it was only the first pair of socks i ever, ever knit?? They turned out lovely...except for the 'ssk' decrease on the first one, i had done that wrong and just left it as it was...i have pics up now...go and look at my goofy sock and my good sock! LOL!! ;)

~Suz~

Cute sock! Your pictures always have such nice lighting. I think an orange toe would be okay, but it also looks fine the way it is.

I love your socks. The same thing happened with some toes on mine the other day. I just got the book on doing socks on two circular needle. I love this way of knitting socks.

I love the colourway!!
Ok so when I first read the post, I thought "Oh sweet, someone else has embarassing trouble with kitchener stitch..." But, then I looked at the photo and I have to admit I was a little disappointed - your toe looks FINE!! Guess it's just me after all...
