Thank you for watching episode 3! In this episode, we find out that I don't know the difference between Yosemite Sam and Yukon Cornelius! I also give the lowdown on the NEW 2023 Knit-Along I'm hosting! Scroll down for full details :)
You can find me on Instagram as @momof6stitches and Ravelry as @momof6hearts.

52 SOCKS IN 2023 KAL!!!! #jillys52sockskal
- This KAL will focus on knitting 52 single socks in 2023; the goal is to finish ONE sock per week of the year!
- This is a NO-STRESS knit-along, so if you fall short and don't quite knit one sock per week, that is okay! We are aiming for progress not perfection. Do your best and have fun; the rest is for the birds!
- This KAL will be happening entirely on Instagram. If you wish to participate, please post pictures of your WIPs and FOs using the hashtag #jillys52sockskal .
- If possible, please post pictures of all socks you have completed for the KAL periodically throughout the year (you can do this as often as you like; weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, whatever works for you!)
- It is super important that you use the hashtag, as that is what I will be using to choose prize winners and also the only way we can find others participating in the KAL!
- Feel free to search the #jillys52sockskal hashtag to cheer on other participants and make new sock knitting friends!
- Socks can be knitted or crocheted.
- Socks can be ANY SIZE, using any kind of yarn and any kind of pattern.
- WIPs are totally welcome, as are new cast-ons!
- You can join at ANY TIME during the year! Since this is a year-long KAL, just jump in when you are ready to join, knit socks and use the hashtag, and you're in!
- PRIZES: Dana Rae Makes has generously offered some of her beautiful sock patterns as prizes and I will also be giving away some of my handmade project bags as well! I will be choosing 1 random winner per month for the duration of the KAL.
