So what have I mostly knitting been knitting on this sock journey….
Day 12 and I’ve turned…a heel!
I’m on the turning of the heel!!
Day 11 and a how to video
This video today is about taking your stitches back one at a time. This is when you’ve made a mistake on the round or row you’ve just knitted or the one below so you just need to take one or two rounds/rows out. I don’t do this when I had to take out the rib […]
Day Ten on the sock journey!
They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit so I am half way through! It is lovely to share this sock journey with you. A slow and steady journey of knitting. Here is the vlog for today….I went on a bit of a ramble but they say that most people only watch […]
Day Nine

Day Six and frog it!
Frog it means I ripped back my sock knitting. Rip it, rip it, rip it…..and so the knitting slang is born – frogging. Because I have to rip it back I therefore frogged my sock. Love how knitting has been around for thousand and thousands of years but there are always new things to learn […]
Day Five the one with the mistake….
When I decided to do #blogtober I wondered what I would chat about every day. I thought knitting socks would be a good subject. People, who pop into the Skipton studio, might ask me how long it takes me to knit something. I don’t know. I knit things because I enjoy the knitting. I’m a […]

Thank you for joining me on this #blogtober journey. It’s Day Four and I’m still blogging! (I shalt say this every day….I don’t think LOL) Following on from yesterday I thought I’d show you how to join the dpns into a round.
