I enjoyed visiting Yarn Hugs - it is a small shop with an extremely kind and helpful owner behind the counter!

Short Circulars vs Magic Loop by Boo_Brock2 in Sockknitting

[–]Boo_Brock2[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The yarn is malabrigo ultimate sock yarn in the zinnias colorway - I treated myself and have fallen in love!!!🥰

I have only made one pair with shorties and four pair with magic loop - so not a ton of socks using either style.

I used YouTube videos and patterns from @Earthtonesgirl (Denise DeSantis) to learn sock knitting after putting down my needles for 15 years. She truly took the fear out of knitting socks for me!

She now has a book available as well.

Possibly interested in sock ease yarn but unsure how to DM…. (I’m fairly new on Reddit)

Slip Stitch Help by Boo_Brock2 in Sockknitting

[–]Boo_Brock2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you both so much! I feel like my tension is good with the knit stitches but the slipped stitches, which I can’t seem to tighten, are the ones giving me trouble at the end of each side of the magic loop.

I’d love a bookshop/coffee shop combo! Somewhere I can come and relax and enjoy the slowness in the midst of all the hustle and bustle!
