  2. I would love to know how to knit with standing or multiple colors on one row. I would love to knit with DPns too.

  6. I would be considered an advanced knitter, but, as I look over years worth of work, my main issue is always making garments fit properly. That’s what I’d like to learn to do better. Also, my pbs station doesn’t show any knitting TV… And I’d love to see it.

  8. Using more than two needles gets confusing to me. I have been trying to knit dog sweaters for our boy and our two grandpups and I am really confused. I love learning new stitches and different ways to use multiple yarns at one time. I would love to win this so thanks for the give away.
    Merry Christmas

  11. I hope they will carry the show in the west Michigan area. I would love to learn how to knit and crochet better.

  12. I love to learn new things, and though I’ve been knitting for years, I am self taught and merely assume I’m doing things correctly. I would enjoy getting another’s perspective of the craft!

  20. Would very much love to become an avid knitter, right now crochet is my love and I discovered I have issues purling, apparently not doing them correctly.

  21. I am looking to improve my colorwork- it is horrible. I tried to knit an ornament and it was so messy on the back, so I ordered a book on line to try to learn how to do it the right way. I would also love to improve my crocheting. Apparently (due to knitting?) I hold the crochet hook wrong! I love to learn new techniques, new tricks and new methods which will improve my FO’s. Thanks for the giveaways.

  22. I would love to be able to see this program ,however our TV server doesn’t carry it .I would love to learn different stitches in Crochet ! Thanks

  23. I used to watch Knit and Crochet Today but haven’t been able to find it for awhile. I will be watching for it in January. I would love to win to DVD to catch up and see all the great projects as well as learning or perfecting my skills.

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
