The socks pattern is almost ready to see the light of day, and meanwhile the fingerless gloves came out of the needles.
They are not ready for testing just yet but DM me or sign up my newsletter if youβre interested in testing them ππ¦

Weaving in ends in advance
I like to get the yarn end out of the way, by weaving it in in advance.
Many have raised the objection: but then you cannot unravel your knitting. Thatβs not true. You can frog down to the very first stitch, and then pull out the yarn to undo the cast on as well.
I do not use this method, however, if I know Iβll need the yarn end to close the gap or even out a jog.
