I was taught to knit by my grandmother and mother when I was little, and I still have the extremely long garter stitch scarf to prove it.
When I rediscovered knitting in 2007, I wanted to learn everything; but I was especially drawn to sock knitting when I bought three beautiful skeins of hand-dyed sock yarn. When I turned the heel on that first sock, I felt like I had performed a magic trick and I haven’t stopped making socks since then and I designed my first pair in 2010.
I love the portability of socks, the intricacy and the usefulness of the finished object. Socks yeah!
