Each of the patterns in this book has been designed with the adventurous beginner sock knitter in mind. Winwick Mum says wherever we are in the world, we are all connected by the seasons and the memories they hold for us. We might not have the same seasons at the same time, but especially now in the days of social media - we can look at pictures of snow all year round! - and whatever events occur and however much the months might seem to blur into one endless rainy season at times, the seasons have been turning long before we were and will continue to turn long after we've gone too. The steadiness, the eternalness of it all. The reminder that some things exist without having been created by us.
The book contains four new patterns, one for each of the seasons.
Winwick Mum's aim has always been to encourage beginners to understand how a sock works from cuff to toe, and to not only enhance their sock drawers but also their well-being as they discover the simple pleasure of knitting in the round. If you can knit and purl, you can knit socks and once you can knit socks, you can knit anything! Start with plain socks if you’ve never knitted them before – or launch straight in with the pattern that you like the best. Be fearless! It won’t be long before you’re wearing your hand-knits and your feet will thank you for it, but do be warned - sock knitting is addictive!
