From Knee to Toe

Back in January I had an operation on my knee to repair a meniscal tear in the cartilage. It was whilst I was laid up recovering that I discovered my love a sock knitting!

Knitting socks is so addictive and enjoyable. There's nothing quite like wearing a pair of socks that you have made yourself! They make the most wonderful present too!

If haven't had a go yet I would highly recommend getting hold of a copy of the Yarn Harlots's book Knitting Rules! It has a really easy to follow instructions to start you off. Should you get the bug and you will! When take a look at Cookie A's book "knit.sock.love" is a must. With 19 patterns, it should keep you busy for a while.

My love of socks was accompanied by my love of yarn! Smooshy Sock Yarn from Dream in Color is a superwash merino and is a available in a rainbow of colours. It knits up beautifully and is amazingly soft.
