SOCK KNITTING: BEST TOOLS & EQUIPMENT

Are you ready to knit a sock, but not sure where to get started? There's so much choice in knitting tools on the market and it can be quite overwhelming! This video outlines the equipment you'll need to get knitting socks. I advise on what to look for when choosing your equipment & knitting needles, and make suggestions for re-purposing equipment that you might already have at home in your sewing kit, mending basket or knitting bag. Remember - at the end of the day, knitting is so individual that you'll soon find your own preferred way of doing things - and make plenty of discoveries along the way!

Sock knitters: Do you have a favourite tool or a particularly well-loved piece of equipment that you'd recommend? Is there an ergonomic product design on the market that REALLY works? Let me know in the comments below!
