Having been inspired to start walking alot after my recent trip to Woolacombe here is the blog post. I decided it would be good to start walking to and from work as it is only just over three miles a day.
But instead of just walking to work, I thought why not knit while I walk to produce some socks, this way benefiting from the exercise and producing something at the same time.
So I started on 4th of June and everyday that I walk I do a little more of my sock.
I thought it would be nice to keep a record for myself to see the progress and places I go whilst walking.
With Sock one I am using West Yorkshire Spinner's colourway Kingfisher. I would personal call it "Beach" as it reminds me of the sand and the different colours of the sea and sky.
The journey this sock has been on are,
- a trip to collect tickets for a great trip to Bath, many trips to and from work.
- A journey on the train with my son to Bristol on a great day out.
- A great walk in the country lanes to my local garden centre.
- A train journey to Bath for Karie Westermann Design your own lace shawl
- A bus journey with my son who wil be 17 in July and is starting College, so we did the "check the bus route" trip.
- The final stitches were made on 20th June.
Here's to the next pair and many many more #knitwhileyouwalksocks.
Not sure I could walk and knit at the same time especially whilst walking the dogs. Lovely colour wool too. I keep seeing sock posts which is a constant reminder that I am yet to start my socks for this years sockline. As I'm off to my son's this weekend I may take some with me to start as its so easy to transport.

No I draw the line at being able to walk my two and knit, but I thought instead of cycle why not walk and that way I can have a more relaxed journey and produce something at the same time. I have been to the last 5 Yarndale's, such a great place but decided not to go this year. Here's to many socks :)
