Socks, socks and socks again

If we look out the window at the moment, then we can say one thing with certainty: the summer is over. The temperatures fall again to below 20 degrees and it is time again to make yourself comfortable on the sofa with tea, blanket and of course the knitwear.

What should not be missing on a cocky day on the couch? Here, the ghosts are probably different, but for us, the answer is clear: Warm knitting socks!

You may be smiling now, but this contribution is not by chance. Only yesterday we longed with cold toes for the knitting socks, which were previously knitted by our grandma always so neatly.

And since we are pretty sure that we are not the only ones who feel this way, our knitting instructions should not be longer in coming:

Für die ganz ambitionieren Stricker:inner unter euch hätten wir da auch noch was: „Socktober“ und „Sock Madness“ steht nämlich wieder vor der Tür. Aber was ist das eigentlich?

Beim „Socktober“ geht es darum, eigens gestrickte Socken zu verschenken oder für einen guten Zweck zu spenden. So wurden in den letzten Jahren schon über 4.000 Paar selbstegstrickte Socken an den Verein Eierstockkrebs Deutschland e.V. gespendet. You can find more information about this on the Hompage of Tanja Steinbach.

Bei der „Sock Madness“ hingegen vereinen sich Stricker:innen aus der ganzen Welt in der Ravelry Gruppe „Sock Madness Forever“ And then there's a contest about who can knit socks the fastest. A short guide to this can be found. HIER.

We wish you a lot of fun knitting and, of course, warm toes in the colder months already at the door.
