Dude Demos Socks

Robyn alerted me to the fact that Detroit Public Television has episodes of Knit and Crochet Today streaming on their web site, including the episode where Drew Emborsky, The Crochet Dude, demonstrates how to crochet my toe-up sock design.

Drew does a great job of showing all the fun parts of sock-making. It was nice to see all of those darn step-outs I made put to use! And the pattern for the socks is still available for free from the Knit and Crochet Today web site.

Today I taught at The Net Loft but instead of working on a teddy varsity jacket like I intended, I felt compelled to create something valentiney. I’m giving myself the rest of the evening to work on it, and if I like the results, I may have a wee love-day gift for you all before the weekend is out.

  • 2 a.m. -- wow! They must really think we crocheters are night owls! :-0
    (Hey--that sounds like good fodder for an amigurumi... a crocheting 'night'
    owl!)

    Glad to have you visit! :-)
  • After frogging just about every attempt at crocheting socks, I found Drew showing us your wonderful toe-up pattern -- and NOW! -- yay! -- I have socks appearing right before my eyes.

    Thanks so much!
  • So glad to hear it! I would love to see a picture when you're through!
  • I love watching Drew on the show. He did the presentation really well. Have fun with your design.
