The 'Rock Those Socks' make-along is over half way and I love seeing your knit and crochet socks popping up on social media and on the CftC Community Ravelry group - there are knitters making crochet socks, crocheters knitting socks, someone trying two-at-a-time and toe-up socks for the first time, and even some bodging (you know who you are!). Most importantly we have people connecting, helping, and encouraging each other and trying new things - which is exactly what we hoped.
I haven't finished my second sock yet. I am entirely blaming this on half term coinciding with several other project deadlines (and big feet!) but I have 1.4 socks and plenty of time before we wrap things up at the end of the month. Finished or not, as promised, I've compiled a summary of the knitting pattern blog posts and put together a PDF which you can download. It doesn't include everything from the blog posts (that would take too many pages), so please refer back to the posts if you want to check anything that isn't included!

My co-host Maria, made the socks below from my posts, and is already onto her second pair although she hadn't knitted socks before - she has written about her sock-making journey so far on her blog. Maria has also compiled her free crochet sock pattern, which you can find via her blog HERE. As soon as my knitted socks are finished, I'll be giving those a try.
