Longtail cast on with doubled needles - I'm holding two needles parallel to each other and form the sts around both of them.

I know, this doesn't really add additional stretchiness but it is the way I learned from my grandmother and she was the best sock knitter ever (and I'm totally objective here 😉).

For socks I actually care more for function than for looks - if the cast on looks a bit sloppy before I put on my socks: don't care, they need to fit when they're worn.

Proud mother moment.

My daughter made this cardigan for her best friend. She did it without a pattern, just going from pictures and with minimal input from me. It was her first real #crochet project ever (besides a dishcloth).

A.gup.pe groups don't have an actual admin, nobody controls who toots with that handle.

They are more like hashtags - you can't control who uses a hashtag either.

Very nice article if you want to get a first idea about different sheep breeds and how their wool differs.

I've never used down / down type fiber. I'll try to get my hands on some of it.
