Take a look at the podcast “Clo Knits” regarding colorwork. She gives some tips and the one thing you absolutely must do. It really helped me.

[@KnitCheek]

Thanks for the tip! I've added it to my watch later playlist.

[@vivienyinnn5]

it may be fine fitwise if the colourwork section looks bigger than the rest when you block it it will even out. colourwork is significantly tighter than stockinette usually especially in such a small circumference

[@karianne7796]

Thank you for the video💜 love the cotton top🤩 You're being to hard on yourself about the socks. The colorwork is turning out beautifully! You should absolutely do the all over colorwork next. Greece seemed like a lovely trip💜 thank you for sharing

[@KnitCheek]

Thank you! 😊 Im feeling better about the socks. Really trusting the blocking process.

[@sibleyhoneybee427]

Thank you for sharing about your trip to Greece. I have enjoyed traveling with my mom as well. I really think your socks will block out beautifully, and your colorwork looks very nice. I'm excited to see if you have enough yarn for your bookclub cardigan. It's too bad that everyone has been running out. Your cats are adorable and as a cat lover myself I'm sure that would be one of my favorite parts of Greece as well. Happy Knitting!❤🧶

[@KnitCheek]

Thank you for the comment! And thank you for the encouragement. I'm trusting the blocking process! You would definitely love Greece :)

[@elenabeyers2088]

Another thing. Denise deSantis, Earthtones Girl on KZbin has a whole Fearless Sock Knitting series that was also very helpful for me. I do contrast heels, and toes following her method. It is a bit fidly at first, but I just slowed down and was successful. Good luck. It is a lot of fun.

[@KnitCheek]

Ill definitely check it out! Thanks for the recommendation :)

[@matroberra7291]

Hey nat! Where's my socks??!! lol lani was all like is that my bestie??? The one that taught me that cool song?!

[@KnitCheek]

No socks :p work work work work work

[@katieosborne5203]

Loving the knits and I loved hearing about the books you’ve been reading. Tress ended up being one of my favorite books after my husband made me read it. 😂 Also, the Greece trip sounded amazing! I love my neighborhood cats, and have taken several in from the street, because I’m a major sucker, but they are quite terrible for the environment, which is a big reason Americans are so sensitive about them. They’re one of the biggest reasons we have lost so many songbirds in the states.

[@KnitCheek]

Tress is such a good book! Thats true. Cats are horrible for birds and lizards. Such adorable little psychopaths.

[@jackiewoodrow3878]

Enjoy your podcasts ♥️ I do some colorwork socks and I find the only way that works for me is increasing the stitch count that aligns with chart or adding a few stitches between motives and going up a needle size to get a fit that goes over heel and instep but decreasing back down to original number for my foot. I enjoy doing toe-up method if chart is going the right direction . Hope this helps

[@KnitCheek]

Thanks Jackie! All great advice. The pattern I used did add stitches to the colorwork portion.

[@khatrenreed731]

Wait but I’m obsessed with these colorwork socks though. Love the colors you chose too!!

[@KnitCheek]

Aw thank you! I like the colors too. They are giving me fall vibes in socal weather :P

[@melissatrueblood2520]

You're being too hard on yourself about the sock. It's gonna turn out ok! 🩷

[@KnitCheek]

Thank you ! 🥰
