She says they are also in Knitting in the Old Way, and a few other books (at home - I have a bibliography I can send you) there is no wrap and turn, and I think they are neater feeling. I didn't get a chance to talk to Franklin much, partially because I was all stressed about not fangirling, and he was with his friend Sean and they were talking to eachother (and on the other side of the room).

It sounds like Merike gave you some sock tips I might not know... And Susanna gave you some short row concepts that I either don't know, or haven't thought about... What makes them Japanese???
