Here’s a great tip for perfectly tensioning your colourwork

Here’s a great tip for perfectly tensioning your colourwork knitting. By doing this, you’re making the yarn floats go around the outside of your needles and therefore they’re going to be looser and stretchier. Let me know if you’ve tried this and if it’s worked for you? It can be done on socks, mittens, sleeves, basically any colourwork knitting with a small circumference! . Pattern: Summer Meadows socks , my spring version.🌸🌱 . #stoneknits #sockknitting #colorworksocks #strandedknitting

Want to know the secret to a perfectly fitting hand knit sock? Dense fabric. • Socks are meant to be knit with a dense fabric in mind to allow them to keep their shape and reduce the risk of stretching out over time. While some knitters can achieve this with size US 1 needles others find they have to go down to US 0 or even 00! • “Star-Crossed Lovers” in Cozy Sock available in the shop this weekend only!

I never imagined I would be able to create this hand knit sock collection when I first started knitting, let alone design all of these patterns myself! I was intimidated by the idea of knitting socks, but once I started I fell in love with sock knitting 🩷 Every pair of socks in this basket is a pattern I designed and this collection is so special to me, it represents a journey where I have learned, improved and made plenty of mistakes along the way. Knitting is so personal to each of us and transports you in a way you can really make it yours. Don't hold back if you want to try that new technique or knit that new pattern that you love... even though it's a bit outside of your comfort zone. Challenge yourself if you want to, you never know how far you can go if you don't try ✨ #knittersofinstagram #sockknittersofinstagram #sockknitting #knitstagram #knitspo

I used to not understand why anyone would want to knit socks. But then I saw an all-over colourwork sock with a sole gusset and I was sold - I had to become a sock knitter! 🧦 And since then my favourite construction is absolutely toe-up. There's so much to love about it, the ability to make them as long as you want as you go being one of them ✨ My pro tip? Make socks with a gusset and heel flap - those fit the best! P.S. Most of my patterns feature a gusset and heel flap, and it just happens that today's featured patterns are Auseklis and Rami Socks.

Comment “Sock” below and we’ll share the link 🧦✨ __________________________ 🇩🇰 Strømper behøver faktisk ikke være svære Noget af det, vi hører alleroftest, er: “Jeg tør ikke kaste mig ud i strømper – hælen virker for teknisk.” 🧦 Og ærligt?

✨Knitting Tutorial: A quick demo of how I knit colorwork socks!✨ . ⭐️I use US Size 2 (2.75mm) tiny circs ~ I like the Chiagoo Twist with interchangeable 2” and 3” tips! I’ve found that working with tiny circulars where one needle is a little longer than the other helps with hand-cramping! ⭐️Keep your tension relaxed! Puckering on your fabric occurs when you pull your CC yarn too tight! ⭐️Don’t let your stitches get bunched up! Keep them spread out on your needles, otherwise you’ll get puckering! . I’ve got several beginner-friendly colorwork sock patterns in my Ravelry and Etsy shops!

Friends, if you’re knitting Feel the Heel Socks and find yourself staring at that heel thinking… wait, why is it so big? Trust me - I still have the same moment myself 😁 Yes, the heel really does look big while the sock is still on the needles. And the ribbing on the leg and foot makes it look even bigger 🤷 But please, don’t panic. You’re doing everything right. That’s simply part of the construction. Finish the sock, put it on… and watch it transform into exactly what a well-fitting sock is meant to be 🧦 #knitting #sockknitting #feeltheheelsocks #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram
