A way forward to really get the hang of sock knitting and get to the stage where I can make a pair of plain socks without falling into despair or throwing the half finished socks on the floor and stamping on them. After all, in the four years since that first sock yarn purchase, I’ve become a dyer and have just started my own sock yarn club.

Last weekend I published two episodes of the Crafternoon Treats Crochet Podcast and had an Etsy shop update
