Enter for your chance to win Sock Blockers! These are used for blocking your socks after you've finished knitting them to help even out the stitches, shape the socks, and make sure they are nice and clean before their first wearing.
To enter leave a comment on this post telling us about your sock knitting experiences. Haven't knit socks yet? Tell us what's holding you back! Want to know more about knitting socks, and have a question for us? Is there a sock related topic you think we should do a tutorial on?
We'll choose one lucky winner on Sunday, August 31. Good luck!

What a shame those living in Canada can’t participate and you have to live in the US to participate. I would love to win sock blockers. I have been knitting socks but have yet to purchase a nice set. In fact, I have been using a pair of Halloween feet to put socks on to photograph but they don’t block them.

I have recently finished my most challenging sock knitting attempt ever and it mostly worked out!
I was knitting a pair of socks two at time, one inside the other, toe-up, using illusion knitting technique, knitting the inside sock inside-out so that the illusion image would be reversed.
It was just as hard and crazy as it sounds.

I love making socks that aren’t exactly the same. It’s much more fun when the stripes start in a different place. keeps everyone wondering. I just need to keep the pattern with the remaining yarn so that I can make the second sock out of the same yarn. LOL

I knitted a pair of socks and followed the directions well. When done they fit my big brother! I need to try again and knit a pair for myshelf!

Sorry about the typo! Should read I need to try again and knit a pair for myself!
