On today’s post I wanted to dive a little deeper in a big question in sock knitting. When you are knitting socks, first you need to choose direction. Toe-Up vs. Cuff-Down; which one is right for you?

How is our sock knit-along going on your end? So far I have finished one and a half new socks (of 2 new designs) and I’m also pretty excited to start one more new design idea… Sock knitting is a big deal for me this Spring! But other than that, I also wanted to chat a bit about the most feared and fun part of sock knitting: The Heel!

Continuing my series of blog posts on sock knitting! We have already talked about bit about the yarn choices, now it’s time to cast on. This might be a bit late for us all considering our sock KAL, but it’s nice to know about all the options for future reference! You might even use an alternative method for your second sock!

Today I’m also starting a series of posts on sock knitting! I know this has been the theme this Spring, but it certainly started way earlier: socks are my new favourite little thing to knit. First and foremost it’s time to take a closer look at all the yarn options we have for sock knitting.

Sometimes a design begins with a texture or a colour. Sometimes with a feeling. The Fern Socks started with the image of something growing—soft and slow, unfurling stitch by stitch like a fern from the forest floor.

Another week - another new sock pattern. Maybe you can spot the theme of the Spring here for me: no surprise anymore, this season has been all about socks. Today the spotlight is on my newest pattern Mandarin Socks.
