A tutorial....of sorts (who knew?!)
I use this toe pattern for all the socks I do and you end up with a nicely rounded toe. I was writing the 'structions out for someone and thought perhaps some of you who are sock knitters might like to give it a try.

Today's quote is from Alison Faulkner.... "Enough is a decision, not an amount"
I don't have a printer but I like the idea of making pretty seed packets. I've just gone through all my seeds for 2026 and my jumble of various crumpled envelopes is not very attractive.
ReplyDeleteI expect likely most people have the exact same storage system!
DeleteMy seeds are in various envelopes or just wrapped in paper. I'm very low tech in the seed department.
ReplyDeleteThe few tomato seeds we have are in old pill bottles - whatever works!
DeleteThank you so much for sharing this. ❤️
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteOkay, Mary Anne... I printed those instructions out, made note from whence it came, and am putting it in my collection of knitting patterns - JUST in case I ever get up the gumption to try sock knitting again. I wish I was a sock knitter, but I'm impatient with the process of becoming one. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI never thought I'd be a sock knitter either,. but once I found the pattern I use now I discovered I like making them.
DeleteI have copied your instructions and if I ever move on from two needle flat socks I will certainly try this.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It's an easy way to do the toe and I like that it ends up being rounded rather than pointy.
DeleteSherryofcreateology: I love your new landscape with the older couple walking arm in arm. Thank you for your “Toe Tutorial”. However I am not good at knitting. Great quote today. Blessings Dear…
ReplyDeleteI really like that image of the older couple too so couldn't resist working with it.
