I was just looking at the first pair of colorwork socks I made and thought about how far I have come lol
The best tip I got then was to knit the socks inside out. You still knit the same way, but the yarns are carried on the outside of your work and it is much easier to regulate the tension.
Let me know when you start the Painted Desert socks and we run it as a Kal. I want to knit another pair as well and maybe we get some more takers :)

Thank-you, that's really helpful! I want to get a pair of better circulars before I start (it will be later in the year, I haven't done my planning yet) - the obstinate cable on my current ones didn't help. A KAL would be a good idea, we have talked about that in NeedleworkMonday. How would it work?
We can run it in needlework Monday. Set a starting and an end date and a kal specific hashtag. We can encourage weekly updates for upvotes - depending on how many we get participating, we can offer a prize as well. I prefer random drawings and we can pick from the Kal #.
I am also on Instagram and Ravelry and we can have a thread going there as well - but prizes on Hive only...
Sounds good, I'll build it into my plans 🙂
great. Let me know when is a good time for you to start and we can both post about it and get people excited to want to participate.
Quick question. do you know if a Hive needlework community exists on Ravelry? If not, I will go ahead and start one...
Not as far as I know 🙂
Okay. i will work on it later today.
