If you want a portable project to carry about with you and also want to learn a new skill, why not try socks? Handy, cosy and fun, they’re a great opportunity to learn to knit in the round using double pointed needles (DPNs), turn a heel and practice toe shaping, and also graft a toe using Kitchener stitch.

You will then be able to utilise the gorgeous sock yarns that are everywhere to their full potential on your cosy tootsies! Be prepared for the flurry of requests for hand knitted socks that will come your way when you master this skill :)
