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.

A third sock post in a row! Who knew this day would come?! Not me, but here we are. I’m completely head over heels into sock knitting right now. Preferably socks with some stripes and even better with some intarsia knitting.

Have you ever wanted to knit something small, portable, and endlessly customisable but perfectly fitting? That’s exactly why I fell in love with sock knitting - even if it took me 10 years or so. There’s something magical about turning just a simple skein of yarn into a perfectly fitted, cozy pair of socks. If you’ve never tried knitting socks before, let me share why you really should give it a go—and a few tips to help you get started.
