Day Nine of #blogtober and last week was a hectic one that felt better after a few rounds of my sock knitting. It’s lovely to have a project to knit at the end of the day, especially when it’s been non-stop all day!
I took a Professional Finishing workshop yesterday and was sharing the joy of joining hand knits together. You, like the people at the beginning of the class, might not believe that there is a joy in joining hand knits together but, perhaps like the people at the end of the class, you might change your mind after a few hours with me! (not a threat)

I love joining hand knits together as well as picking up stitches. However in this sock pattern there isn’t much joining together but there are stitches to pick up.
I’ll show you how I do that in a video this week.
