Hello Noble Knitters!  It's Donna, the Knitting Doctor, ready to knit along with you today as we create "Bottoms Up" our seamless toe, knit from bottom to top, no-fears socks.  

Not only are these socks fun, they are a great way to learn a few new skills in no time flat and that's a fact!

Perfect knitting project for all skill levels. This light as air blanket is soft, cuddly and perfectly sized for everyday use. It features easy care, machine washable Aalta Cloud yarn.

Too cute! We love this adorable little mouse hat for baby. It's a 1-skein knitting project and uses machine washable Plymouth Dreambaby Paintpot DK Yarn.

Ready to learn a few new skills and up your knitting game? Then join me as we knit along together to create cushy pair of socks the toe-up way!  

We won't need to be a whiz with double pointed needles or the magic loop either. For this knit along, we'll learn to use 2 circular needles to work those small areas, create a seamless toe, a no-gusset (i.e. easy) heel and the perfect stretchy bind-off worked with reverse yarnovers. This is going to be one of the easiest and fastest socks ever! 

You'll love knitting this 1 skein, 2 hour project - download the free pattern below and cast on. PS. Ewe Ewe's Berry color is the perfect shade of pink for this project!

Knit an easy and relaxing wide ribbed cowl. Using one skein of hand dyed self-striping Crazy Zauberball yarn, you'll love the drape and feel of this luxurious and colorful fiber. It's long enough to wear long and loose or doubled around the neck.

Bobbles are like bubbles or puffs in your knitting. These little puffs are perfect for adding texture to any knitting project. Add a few, or a lot - It's up to you! Creating bobbles is much easier than you think. Here a step-by step guide on how to construct a basic bobble. Bobbles aren't difficult when you know how and even a beginner with just a little experience can make them.

One skein project! Knitted in the round, this easy to knit cowl uses self striping Amplify yarn. You'll knit a tube and then join the ends to create a cowl.

Alternating rows of Universal Uptown Bulky Amplify yarn creates this interesting and easy to knit cowl. From the Universal Design Team, Squoosh knits up fast on big needles and is perfect for gift knitting and giving.

Have you ever been knitting in public (doctor's office, train, bus, library, sporting event, airport, school pick up line, etc) and someone strikes up a conversation with you about knitting? Knitting is a very social hobby! It brings people together and helps to develop bonds. If you've been wanting to connect more with others, why not join or start your own knitting club? Both are very easy to do and cost nothing to get started.  

Here's a fun and easy to knit project to knit for yourself, a friend, or even your dog! The kerchief stripes using colorful, Edition 3 yarn from Schoppel. You'll begin with the kerchief portion knitting back and forth, then knit in the round to create the cowl portion. This seamless knitting pattern is a fabulous gift idea and ideal as a weekend project.

Why are there knitting abbreviations? To shorten the amount of time it takes to read (and write!) knitting patterns, designers use popular abbreviations to help writing easier. They may seem cryptic when you first see them, but after a while you'll be able to glance at a full row and know exactly what the designer wants you to do.
