What's the Sockalong All About? First things first, let’s break down what a “Sockalong” actually is. Basically, it’s like a virtual sock-knitting party!

And let’s be honest: nothing feels quite as satisfying as finishing a pair of socks you made with your own two hands. It's like winning the Olympics of crafting.

Just my latest pair of socks I whipped up in a week.” You’ll be the sock knitting champion at your next family gathering. Trust me, you’ll be the talk of the town. And who doesn’t love to be the socks-pert? Tips from the Experts Now, I know what you’re thinking: “I’m a beginner. I can barely make a scarf, let alone socks!” Don’t worry! The Winwick Mum Sockalong is designed with beginners in mind, but there’s plenty for the more experienced crafters too. Here are some tips from the experts (aka, the people who won’t judge you if you accidentally drop a stitch, promise): Start with the right yarn – Sock yarn is your best friend. It’s durable and cozy. Trust me, you’ll want a yarn that can withstand a lot of foot traffic. You don’t want to spend all that time making the perfect sock, only for it to unravel after one wear (we’ve all been there). Gauge is key – I know, it sounds boring, but trust me, it’ll save you from turning your socks into the world’s most uncomfortable gloves. Gauge swatches are your best friend, even if they seem like a hassle. Think of them as your sock insurance. Take it one step at a time – It’s easy to get overwhelmed, especially if you’re new to knitting socks. But if you break it down, it’s not so bad. One row at a time, one heel at a time, one sock at a time. And hey, if it’s not perfect, that’s okay! Socks are supposed to be a little quirky, right?
