SUMMARY:Sock Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Interested in delving into the wild world of socks? Or maybe you want to learn a new heel technique or knit a sock from a different direction (top down or toe up!).

Looking to explore the world of toe-up socks? DRK Everyday Socks are for you if you like a dependable ribbed sock\, or Socks on a Plane if you want to throw a simple cable in.
