Help! I need opinions from more experienced chart readers than me. I've started the Anastasia (http://www.pepperknit.com/patterns/anastasia.html) Sock pattern and have just got to where I need to start doing the spiral pattern. First of all, I thought charts were always read right to left but it doesn't appear so on this one. The stitches that are represented on the chart appear to be the 30 instep stitches. I assume you just knit the other 30 sole stitches (all of the pics I've looked at don't have the spirals on the sole). On the chart it says to knit every odd row....I'm not sure whether this is referring to the 'row' of knit stitches for the sole, or whether I have to knit a whole new complete round.

E.g, spirals on the instep as charted, knit the sole, then knit a whole new round

OR

spirals on the instep as charted, then knit the sole, then back to the chart for the instep and so on.

Opinions anyone?

Cancel that! As usual I was having a knitters brain moment...all sorted now :)

That's a lovely pattern for a sock and your blog shows off the sock you've started splendidly! It looks lovely. Well done on all accounts. :love:

It's quite easy actually Wheezy....go on....you know you want to!

I hope you don't mind, Gempud, but I have started the same sock after seeing the picture on your blog. Mine doesn't look as good as yours though, but at least I'm having a go.

Of course I don't mind!!!! I'm just about to put another update on the blog with pictures just for you!

V. lovely socks, Gempud! Another pattern to add to my list, methinks!

Agree too, they're looking looking lovely.

Am planning the spiral eyelet ones on www.knittingpatterncentral.com, which are similar but less scarily cuff down! :D
