From the Editor

Welcome to another Sock Issue!

I love making and wearing handmade socks! And shopping for the yarn is SO.MUCH.FUN. (although my husband will likely disagree with that part).

A few things I love about this issue!

I can’t help but mention the two new sock patterns in the issue:

• The Game is Afoot Socks by Jill Bickers
• Dottie Socks by Lori Wagner

And then, we talked with both Lori and Jill in Designer Focuses:

• Lori’s Designer Focus
• Jill’s Designer Focus

And be sure to check out Katherine Mead’s article on the History of Sock Knitting. She might have one of my favorite quotes about knitting socks:

[S]ocks are more special. They can be created with an endless combination of techniques in a rainbow of colors and styles.

Clearly, Katherine gets us.

Finally, we have another installment of our Stitchopedias and we talk about Star Toes and Picot Cuffs.

Oh! And I almost forgot – we’re doing a giveaway with this issue too. Win yarn, tools or free patterns!

I hope you love this issue as much as I do.
