Hello knitters, first time for me on a blog. Have enjoyed looking at your projects. Am wondering if anyone has successfully finished the Austrian socks . I have been having problems with the pattern. Not exactly a novice but I have been out of the loop for some years. My daughter loaned me the book to try some patterns. Look forward to some advice.

Hello Doreen, I started the Austrian socks a while back but did not like the twisted stitch techniques or the yarn. However, I remember the pattern being well written and clear; I didn't have any trouble with it.
I didn't like the icord top, so I just did a 1x1 twisted rib at the top. No other problems here. What did you find difficult?
Doreen,
I too had some issues in the beginning. I was good with the I-cord but then my main issue was not fully understanding that the twisted stitch was actually taking up two stitches, once i figured that out I have had much better success! My true breakthrough was when I made an enlarged copy of the chart and highlighted the 4 different twisted stitches each with their own color. I have still only got about 4 inches on the first sock and they are still very tedious but I have not given up yet! But I only work on them when I have lots of quiet time. Good luck to you!!
