I check the size nine's, then have them check what store has the right size in stock.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151809973023634561.post-18578342736780662192010-05-27T18:46:09.593-07:002010-05-27T18:46:09.593-07:00Nope!

Shoe makers HATE narrow sizes. Nine out of ten stores I go to have NO shoes that will stay on my feet!

Which is also out of fingering weight on size 3's so to do socks is just a few sizes smaller but I still a bit skittish about doing it. Once I get through some of these bigger projects, knitting some socks during the heat of summer would probably be a good idea!Missus Vonkysmeedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17730971192934710261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151809973023634561.post-82354969539788151512010-05-27T05:51:31.047-07:002010-05-27T05:51:31.047-07:00you could always try magic loop if you're scar...you could always try magic loop if you're scared of the needles. it's funny i learned how to knit on double points and i'm more afraid to use circs!<br /><br />they have some great tutorials on youtube! i also teach sock knitting so if you need any pointers drop me a line!tinkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15677147123992403634noreply@blogger.com
