A few people asked about the rounded toe on my latest sock - specifically about the fit. This is the best photo I have to show it but it is really comfortable. A little roomier than a standard toe but so far no complaints at all. To work the toe was super simple too.

Good morning. It's time for the 4th and final installment in our #instasockkal. It's been really great to see all of your fabulous socks taking shape and I hope you've been enjoying the knitting. For this #bobsocks design I wanted to try out a simple rounded toe as an alternative to my usual and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. Quick, easy to do and no need to Kitchener - sounds like a winner in my book. Anyway, have a go. I'd love to know what you think. To work the toe was super simple too.

These socks simply flew off the needles. I bought the yarn - #madtosh light at Loop last weekend and then knit on these through the fabulous and inspiring @blogtacular Simple short row heel and a rounded toe. If you fancy a bit of a fun, relaxed sock KAL starting next week I'll be putting up a section of the pattern each week on here for free. Eventually this will be a freebie to my newsletter subscribers but I thought we could have fun with it first. So if you fancy knitting a cuff down sock with no heel flap and no Kitchener stitch - this is the one for you. Or if you know a friend who might be interested please tag them to share it with them. See you on Monday with installment No. 1 #instasockkal #louisetilbrookdesigns #sockknitters #sockknittersofinstagram #operationsockdrawer #socktawk #socklover #knittersofinstgram #neverenoughsocks #knitallthesocks #knitaddiction #knitstagram #instaknit #knitlove #knitlife #makersofinstagram #makersgonnamake #handknitsocks #slowlife #slowliving #stashdash2017 #stashdash #specklesaresohotrightnow

I am 2/3 through my 100g skein. I timed myself and it takes 10 minutes to get through half the 626 stitches. Next to figure yarn consumption, then I can figure how many rounds (and how long to knit) to go before binding off. It will be the 4th project completed in 2018. #jillwolcottknits #lgfsuris #yarn #knittedcowl #knitaddiction

Sometimes all you need is garter stitch and gorgeous hand dyed yarn. Today with the news from Manchester I'm struggling to find anything positive to write. My heart is so heavy and I just can't face much social media today. Today will be spent touching base with family and friends up north and then if anyone wants me I'll be in the corner with my garter stitch. #knittersofig #knitting #knittersofinstgram #instaknit #garterstitch #neverenoughshawls #louisetilbrookdesigns #everydayknitter #best_knitters #i_loveknitting #iloveknitting #edencottageyarns #knitaddiction #knitaddict #knitstagramers #knitstagram #thesemoments #craftastherapy #seekmoments #simplethingsmadebeautiful #simplepleasures
