No CSM ribber? No problem! At today’s Taking Back Friday episode, I want to share how I crank 3×1 mock rib socks on my circular sock knitting machine — my Erlbacher Speedster CSM.
I’ve been wanting to get really good at using my ribber attachment for the past year. However, I feel like it requires a lot of time, focus, and attention. The kind of time that I don’t have a lot of right now. So, what I have been working on instead is to take the next baby step towards knitting ribbed socks. Join me at the vlog as I see if this mock ribbed sock is a good alternative to a traditional, fully ribbed sock knit with a CSM and ribber attachment.
If you want to learn more about knitting with circular sock machines, I do have a lot of videos of how I knit socks on my CSM. I hope you will come back and join me for another session in my cozy little sock-knitting nook!
Notes from this episode:
- I’m wearing the Fain cardigan sample, designed by Tabetha Hedrick, knit in SweetGeorgia Superwash Worsted.
- I’m crank my socks on my Erlbacher Speedster Circular Sock Machine with a 64-stitch cylinder.
- I’m knitting the mock rib socks using SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock yarn in the Atlantis colourway.
- How to Graft and Finish CSM Cranked Socks from the Knit Side video at the blog.
