Guess what. It's almost knit along (KAL) time! The Line Drawing Socks KAL, hosted by my friends at Makers' Mercantile, begins on May 9, 2019. The pattern and all of the tools and materials needed to make the socks are available through Makers' Mercantile, either online or at their shop in Kent, WA.
Throughout the event, I'll be guiding you with videos demonstrating various skills and techniques used in the pattern. I'll also be sharing some general sock knitting tips and tricks and give you a behind the scenes peek at my design process.

Before You Begin
What We're Making
We'll be knitting my Line Drawing Socks, a top down sock with an afterthought heel and 4 Point, or 4 Corner, shaping at the toe and heel. (Psst... that means no Kitchener stitch.)
We'll be making our socks with Zitron Art Deco yarn. It's self-patterning, so the colorwork magically emerges as you knit.
I am going to be demonstrating the skills on my bamboo addi FlexiFlip needles, but the pattern is written in needle neutral terms, so if you are already a sock knitter you can use your favorite addi dpns or circular needles.
