The Loopine Socktober KAL is Back!
Sweater weather is out. Socktober month is in! 😎
Join us for the Loopine Socktober Knit Along from next Tuesday, the 1st of October. This is our 5th year in a row hosting this KAL!
Pick a pattern and some beautiful sock yarn and knit along with us as we share inspiration throughout the month of October.

Sock Knitting Workshops
Need some extra help with your socks? Join Alanna's sock knitting workshop to learn toe-up socks with Fish Lips Kiss Heel. This method is quick to memorise and gives a great custom fit.
The workshop will be held in two sessions, over two consecutive weeks. One session is on a weekday and the other on a weekend, to hopefully accomodate people with different schedules:
Friday 4 & 11 October 10am–2pm
Saturday 5 &12 October 10am–2pm
We can take a maximum of 10 people per workshop, so get in quick if you're keen!
The pattern and heel method recipe will be included in the class price. You'll need to bring yarn and tools from home or purchase them (check our range of sock yarns, needles and tools here)
Materials you will need:
Materials you will need:
- 100g sock yarn (typically this would contain nylon or have a very high twist construction)
- Sock needles: this could be DPNs, long circulars for magic loop, short circulars, or any of our other sock-specific needles
- A notebook and pen
- A few stitch markers
Brush up on your sock knowledge
