Spring Socks KAL

I’m thrilled to invite you to a Spring Socks KAL (a Knit-Along, if you’re new to the knitting lingo!) featuring any of my sock patterns. Whether you’ve knit them before or are casting on for the first time, this is your chance to join a cozy community of fellow sock knitters. We’ll share our progress, tips, favourite yarns, heel preferences, colour combos, and all the sock knitting joy.
