Thank you for a fantastic Socktober KAL!

Time flows by like a whirlwind these days, and in the blink of an eye, Socktober is almost over! Which means it's time to wrap up our Socktober KAL, draw some prize winners and admire all the wonderful socks that will soon keep your toes cosy.

Sonja and I had the best time hosting the KAL - our bi-weekly check-in calls were so fun, and we loved learning all the tips and tricks you shared with us (and each other!) From the best advice on how to get started with stranded colourwork socks (and how to make sure your toes don't flap) to oodles and oodles of pattern recommendations, every call was just chock full of good stuff.

As was the Slack channel with so much chatter and cheering each other on and gorgeous photos! We really liked hosting the KAL over there - it felt like such a wonderful community and the tech behind it made it easier than on Ravelry to interact with each other and have proper conversations.

The stars of the Socktober show, though, were the wonderful socks you all whipped up! So today's post belongs to them – a fun roundup of some of the projects that were on and off your needles during this month!
