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.

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.

Simple socks are often the best socks! I love when I can find a good sock template, with a few well thought through details that I can follow pair after pair - and this, my newest pattern release, is exactly what I love.
