Weave In Ends And Block

Here's how to weave in your ends on ribbing and inside the toe.

You may want to block your socks - here's a photo comparison to show how much nicer a blocked sock looks and fits.

Especially if you are giving these socks as a gift, blocking adds the final touch by letting the sock relax into its new shape as it dries.

If you'd like to watch a video to see how to block your socks, here's how to block your knitting.

You can buy sock blockers at your local yarn store; they are made of plastic or wood and shaped like a foot.

If worse comes to worst, you can always put them on your own feet and order your family around for a few hours. "Honey, can you get that? I can't get up, my socks are blocking."

You're done.

Hooray!

Congratulations - you've just accomplished something many knitters never have. And now that you've seen how easy it is, I know you'll be saying, "Everyone should know how to do this!"

I hope you enjoy the super-easy technique of toe-up socks, and that you (or someone you love) are wearing your gorgeous new socks with joy. You're totally on your way to Knitting Superstardom - and you already know more than almost everyone at your LYS.

Hey, why don’t you post a photo of your new socks on our Facebook Page? I would love to see them.
