Cables on a sock—because who says your toes can’t be fancy? 😉 I’m getting an early start on my Sock-tober knitting, & this cabled sock is the perfect project to get me in the mood. Speaking of Sock-tober. Something to celebrate - let’s just say it’s going to be a sock-tastic! 🤫

Today's knitting tip: the crochet cast on. If you're working on a project that needs a stretchy edge, this technique is a fantastic option. It's also incredibly fast, especially when you need to cast on a lot of stitches at once.

Happy Tuesday! My to-do list is a mixed bag this week. I'm tackling some secret projects (secrets are hard, y'all!) and my needles are busy with the revised Autumn Meadow cardigan. I'm also hoping to get some new YouTube tutorials up soon. What's your week looking like?

Busy Monday in the books! 😅 Getting all the behind-the-scenes things done. Now I can embrace an evening of glorious knitting and #knitflix. There's nothing like the rhythmic click of needles to unwind after a hectic day. What are you working and watching tonight? #knitting

I spent the past 2 days I have spent more time baking instead of knitting. I think baking (especially bread) is just as relaxing as knitting. Plus during rest times, you get to knit…so win win. My loaf from this weekend - a black roasted garlic and rosemary bread (not shown banana bread and cobbler)

Let’s play never have I - knitting/crocheting version… What have you never done? #knittersofbluesky
