Inspired by the kit of the month - and knitting with crushed crab - I set my sights on knitting Southwest Trading Company's French Garden Socks Kit (like the kit of the month, these socks are knit out of Tofutsies). The only problem? You have be an intermediate knitter - and know how to wrap and turn. Luckily, i work in a yarn shop, so have been able to perfect the technique after a few years - and am here to help you perfect it as well. The Wrap and Turn (WT) technique is a handy shaping technique that gives a smoother edge and eliminates the need for picking up stitches that other shaping methods create. The directions might seem a little counterintuitive at first, but just read along carefully and trust me - you'll love this technique once you're familiar with it!
