Heya! I can’t believe how many of you have downloaded the Nine to Five socks! The number astounds me and goes way higher than I could have predicted!
A few of you are having trouble with the download. If you’re having trouble, my advice is basically to click the link (in the post below) and accept the copyright information and walk away from your computer for a few minutes (more if your computer or connection is slow). The document is 3 pages, so it could take short bit to download.
Also, a few people have asked about the twist stitch described in the pattern. It’s kind of a hard thing to describe with words… so I present to you the following video!! Let me know if you like this and think that this kind of thing would be helpful in the future!
The video is a great help. It looks like the same stitch is twining, which is used in the Conwy socks from Knitting on the Road. It doesn’t make sense until you try it with yarn and needles; trying to think it through didn’t work for me.
Love the pattern!
A picture is worth a thousand words! Recently someone asked me how to do this very st, so I know it can be confusing to people. I showed her how, but now I can direct people to this video as a resource. Thanks!
Excellent. Very helpful!
Haven’t started the sock, but I will tell you right now that the video is 1. cool 2. super helpful. This type of thing will be very helpful in the future!
Very cool pattern. I haven’t downloaded it, but I’ve bookmarked it.
In case you didn’t see it, some of the traffic might be from the CRAFT Magazine blog - when I was catching up on my feeds last night, I noticed that they’d linked to you.
Woo!
Thanks for the video to help with the pattern. I had imagined the stitch correctly, but it’s a relief to see it done. I’m doing my sock with the new Shibui yarn. Love it.
You are brilliant! Well done Nicole. ok, spill it, how many downloads?
I’m starting mu socks now, but i’m using DK, it is very cold here(South Africa) and i wanted to do somethig warmer.
I’m only having problems with the heel (less sts), but i will get there.
Good work
Thank you for giving us this amazingly beautiful sock pattern.
xo from Switzerland
I am used to toe-up patterns but will make an effort because I love your socks. I will show you mine when finished… probably later than sooner!
Awesome video! Great job Nicole! Couldn’t get the pdf - Indiana universitysecure log in popped up?
That is awesome!! I always have to see things actually done to figure things out, and that is a GREAT help!
How do I get the pattern for the 9 to 5 sock
I didn’t understand the instructions, looking at this video makes sense to me, better then you can describe with a lot of words. Thank you!
Thanks for the tutorial. I dig the soundtrack!
rockin video and can’t wait to make the socks!
A newish knitter and first-time Sockdown! participant thanks you heartily and humbly for the extra assistance with the pattern. Casting on tonight, fingers crossed!
That was most helpful! I am just starting another sock pattern that uses this same stitch and couldn’t get my head wrapped around how it works so someone sent me to your site. These kinds of demos are incredibly useful!
Hallo, darf ich die pdf von 9 go 5 socks erhalten?
Wenn ich es lade, dann kann ich es nicht öffnen.
thankyou
have fun

Thanks for the video–I will be completing these using 2 circular needles. So beautiful in solids!
Great sock, and an interesting stitch pattern! Just thought you’d want to know that SocknittersSAM yahoogroup has voted on this pattern for the March/April, 2008 KAL.
Also designed in solid color, I’m knitting mine with an Opal variegated.
I am a new knitter. No small projects for me! Am doing this pattern for my first pair of socks. Can’t wait to get started. Thanks for sharing your pattern.
These will be my first socks!
Love the twisted stitch thing, thanks for the video!
Thank you THANK YOU thank you!! OMG I spent three days doing the twist wrong! It so much easier than the description makes it sound. Now I have to frog my work…but I now know I’m doing it right!!
