I think of finishing your knits as a very broad term for the non-knitting things you do when making a knitted garment or item. There is probably a much better definition of it but that is how I think of it. Looking at how you finish your knits and making small changes to how you finish can make a huge difference to how your projects turn out so in this episode I share my top 7 simple tips for improving your knitting finish right now. Only one of them requires you to learn something new (if you don't already know it!).

Finish as you mean to go on ; )

In this episode I continue from where I left off last week and talk about the 10 steps you need to follow to knit your first cuff-down sock and hopefully by the end you will see that there really isn't anything to worry about! I also share the date for my next 7 Day Learn to Knit Socks challenge and details of how to be the first to know when sign-ups launch.

So for now, come join me once again on the sock side!

In this episode I talk about sock yarns, sock needles, swatching, blocking and in next the next episode I will be talking about the steps in knitting a pair of socks from the cuff down. In that episode I am also going to talk about the potential sock yarns that I am going to be testing … which I said at the start of this episode I would cover but it then went completely out of my head!

I'll be relaunching my Sock Challenge (which I might have to call Sock Bootcamp (hhmm)) shortly where you can learn to knit socks in just 7 days and hopefully finish your first pair in a fortnight! More about that next week when I have a more definite set of dates!
