Day 26 and how to shape instep
As I mentioned in the vlog yesterday here is the how to on how to shape instep. On this one I’ve chatted through what to do and what mistakes are easy to make at this point.
Day 25 and shaping the instep
So on day 25 of #socktober I am up to shape instep. I’ve not done as much knitting as I would have liked these last few days as I have been suffering from cold of the head, to quote Agatha Christie. I’ve still knitted a row or two every day but I’ve not had a […]
Day 24 and another how to
This how to is how to pattern across the 2nd needle after you’ve turned the heel and picked up your stitches. A lot of hand knit patterns while tell you to “work” or “pattern” stitches this is because by this point in the pattern you will, hopefully, know where you are I the pattern and […]
Day 23 Monday catch up
Today’s vlog is seeing where I am with the sock knitting, now that the hat is finished! (if you don’t like hearing a dog bark then please stop watching around 2.52, there was a bang at the door and Lana likes to say hello to those at the door!)
Day 22 and turning of the heel
Yesterday I shared how to shape the heel. Knitting socks is easy once you break it down into sections. Today I thought I’d share how to turn a heel. This is the heel I use in all my sock designs. Now this is the internet so you can go out there into internet world, or […]
Day 21 and a how to shape heel video
From my chats with knitters who want to learn to knit socks but hesitate to do so it seems the main block is the heel. How do you knit the heel they say, it’s easy once you know how I say. They then, invariably, give me that look of disbelief. So I thought this #socktober […]
Day 20 and it’s Friday Fun!
It’s day 20 of #blogtober and it’s a Friday so I thought today’s video can be something fun. This is a How not to do a How to video….or just what happens in real life. I was showing you how to cable without a cable needle (and the correct How to video is here) but […]
Day 19 and a finished hat!
This is why it’s good to share things because it’s not until you share things that you ‘see’ things about life, routines or habits. My habit is definitely I start a project and then start another one…and maybe some more. I knew I did it but I didn’t know how much I did it! At […]
Day 18 How to cable without a cable needle
I am a knitter who likes to relax with my knitting and I’m not sure of the best word to use, lazy is one word but it isn’t lazy. Lazy to me is sitting around and doing nothing while knitting is definitely not lazy. It works the mind on so many levels as well as […]
