Surprise Sock Along

Welcome to the third annual Westknits Surprise Sock Along! It’s a mystery knit along for your feet! We are going to knit a new pair of socks this summer with surprising new details and design elements. The first clue launches Tuesday, July 29. The Westknits Surprise Sock Along is all about learning fun new techniques with detailed video tutorials as we knit a part of the sock each week for four total weeks of sock clues (instructions). 

At the end of the Sock Along you will have a beautiful pair of finished Delectable Collectible Socks. You will need 5 mini skeins of fingering weight sock yarn in contrasting colors, some knitting needles, and a few stitch markers. I’m going to guide you through every step of the way as we experience an inspiring month of sock knitting together. Thanks for joining me on this surprise sock adventure!

Not everyone likes a surprise. The first clue came out yesterday and many knitters have posted pictures of their progress on Ravelry. Here is a link to the pictures.

We should see two brand new colours of Dyed in the Wool next week. Bitter Pill

Field Day

My air conditioning was fixed late this afternoon. Thank goodness. It was 83 in my store today so I didn’t do any work. I quietly sat at the front table. Tomorrow I can start unpacking some boxes.

-Spincycle from last week

-Emma’s including the August Crazy Beautiful Colour

-Addi Turbo needles

I mentioned that I was writing out each row. I find it much easier to glance at than the chart. 

Now a few rows before bed.
