Sock Knitting Resorces

Every since I have become crazy for socks I have came across so many great online tutorials for various sock components. Without these tutorials I would have been lost, but the problem is I can never seem to find the tutorial I need when I need it. So I thought  could compile a list and link to it from my sidebar. That way I can have some sort of system to my sock knitting madness.

This is what I have found so far. If you have written a tutorial or have a well loved on that is not on this list send it to me. Either by email or leave me a comment. I will do some more looking over the weekend and on Monday I will try to get the list in my sidebar. Feel free to suggest anything I may be missing, I am especially looking for a good tutorial of a average heel gusset, since I have not used on of those. Anything that you think might be helpful to your fellow addicted sock knitter.

Ditto, WOW, sock it to us all. Thanks for this I will have to try to figure out how to save it for future refs. PS
I LOVE THE SOCKS>>>>>

Joelene--thank you for this amazing resource ;)

Hey thanks for all the links! Many more I need to add to my collection of sock info.

[jen]

that turkish cast on is quite awsome once you get the hang of it!

[Faith Fiberflash]

Wow, thanks so much for this list of links!

Oh, and in answer to your question about my blog: it's a play on a Neil Young song. I don't actually know much about it/him, but I had a naming contest for my blog a few months ago, and one of my friends came up with the name. =)

Thanks so much for putting the sock links! I had been looking for information on short row heels (because I hate knitting those flap heel things and the afterthought heels are unpredictable) and never knew that Sherman heel one existed until you posted it. Cool blog, btw. :)

[Laura]

Oh my gosh, I think I love you!!! I've been wanting to do something like that for so long now! You made it so organized that someone could print all this amd use your list as a table of contents. Awesome! I personally have not bought any sock knitting books due to the plethora of sock knitting info and patterns on the internet - but I hate having to go hunting all over the web every time I want to try something that I saw some time some where - but when or where was it? heh Thanks for the great info source!!! :)

[Amber]

Oh, thanks so much for this. I have enough sock yarn for like 4 pairs that I have from Secret Pal 5, but I've been too lazy to look this stuff up. You rule.

[Natalie]

Thanks for the directory of info! I'm working up the nerve to try my first pair of socks, and this may push me over the edge.
