Hello! It’s Socktober, the month when when I like to splash my social media feed with my favourite item to knit, SOCKS!

Every Saturday in October, I’ll have a new blogpost about handknit socks.

Why knit socks?

PORTABILITY: They are the perfect size for a travelling project. I can easily put it in a small project bag and carry it around from one knitting group to another. I like using a Japanese Knot Bag. It has one long hand that you slip thru a longer one which now becomes a wristlet to tote my sock project around.

What sock am I knitting right now?

I’m hosting the 52 Weeks of Socks KAL until the end of the month. Knitters who are knitting along, have chosen a pattern based on the week their birthday falls on. Then knit the pattern that corresponds with the number from the book 52 Weeks of Socks published by Laine.

My birthday falls on week 7 the year I was born, so I’m knitting Rocking Chair.

If you have or can get hold of the book, join the Dublin Knitwork KAL until the end of the month.

Happy Knitting,

Diane
