Show notes and more at math4knitters.blogspot.com. Math4Knitters: Episode 48 Woven Stockings, Caucasus, 700 CE Really old, really cool knit sock from about 1100 - 1200 Click to make bigger. This one is a bit smaller, but just as cool My favorite version of an afterthought/inserted/pocket heel. (Full information about making this heel is in my book, Sock Architecture, and my Craftsy class.) If you watch the Craftsy class, you get to see me get REALLY excited when the heel bone and the ...

Show notes and more at math4knitters.blogspot.com. Math4Knitters: Episode 47 A bit of a ramble today about some WTHeck moments I've had while reading sources. Sorry!

Socks made in the 4th or 5th century, found at the burial grounds of Oxyrhynchus, a Greek colony on the Nile in central Egypt. These socks are currently at the Victoria and...

Math4Knitters: Episode 45 Awesome illustration by Leslie Johnson Books I mentioned: History of Hosiery Sock Architecture The sound quality on this isn't quite as good as I would like, but I'm determined to not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

This photo is from the lovely time I had in Iowa in October. I just realized I never shared it with you. Some of the knitters (or maybe just one? If so, she was too shy to tell me.) made these little cuties to go on people's name tags at the event. Best. Nametag. Ever. I've said it before, and I'll probably say it again. I truly believe that knitting teaches me what I need to know when I'm ready to know it. Maybe other things work that way for other people. Knitting has taught me how to si...
