The easiest way is to ask. I do that, and I have not experienced that the sellers are not honest about this.<br />2. You could look at the heels. Machine knitted heels often differ from the hand-knitted ones. <br />3. The machine knitted socks that we bought seem to be knitted flat and then sewn together, they all have a prominent seem all the way from the cuff down to the toe.<br />4. Hand knitted items are more expensive.Larshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799714957292795220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676730994899731442.post-81792441871853747702016-12-27T04:19:03.646-08:002016-12-27T04:19:03.646-08:00Could you tell us how to tell the difference betwe...Could you tell us how to tell the difference between machine knitted and hand knitted socks? I'd be curios. Not to say I wouldn't buy machine knitted but would like to know I'm getting what I'm paying for :)BluenoseGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09969676564415297899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676730994899731442.post-2681193442300667022015-08-04T03:00:46.516-07:002015-08-04T03:00:46.516-07:00Hello Carla!

Thank you for sharing your experience regarding the woman at the market-stand. It is kind of comforting learning that it wasn't a question of gender.

I was in Riga in 2014 and 2015 and loved it too. The surroundings are great too. The awful woman on the stand in the market is not mad at knitting men, she just hates tourists or maybe even everyone. She chased me away from her stand too. ;-)<br />Greetings!
