We're nearing the end of the Sockalong, and we think it's about time to host a giveaway here on the Alpaca Direct blog! This giveaway is open for everyone, whether or not you're participating in the Sockalong.
You can still join the Sockalong in the Alpaca Direct Ravelry Group.
You can also catch up with all our previous blog posts:
July 23: Sock Knit-A-Long
July 30: Ready to Start Our First Knit-A-Long!
July 31: Working the Toe
August 6: Sock Progress Report
August 14: Adding Patterns to Your SocksGiveaway
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!
Note: You must be a US resident to enter.
You could also try the two circulars method. We suggest trying several techniques until you find what works best for you.

You could always knit them two at a time so that they are sure to end up the same length!

There are a few things you can do to make sure the leg will fit nicely:
1. Use a nice stretchy stitch pattern on the leg like a ribbing
2. Go up a needle size on the leg.
We hope you’ll try knitting socks! They are great fun and wonderful to wear too.

I’ve knit one whole pair. I started them two years ago and finally finished the second sock this year. My challenge is that I want to learn magic loop next but haven’t had time. I also want to try toe-up socks. I had hoped to participate in the sockalong but this summer got away from me.
Choosing a selection results in a full page refresh.
That sounds amazing!
