My guest for this episode is my yarny friend, Christine Perry, who first made an appearance on the podcast back in 2021. Since chatting back then, we have become friends and when I heard that she was gearing up to a big milestone in her sock-knitting journey, I asked her if she would like to come back onto the podcast and chat about it. Last weekend, on Saturday 3rd May, Christine celebrated a whole decade of encouraging people around the world to. knit socks through her Winwick Mum Sockalong. Christine's main aim is to encourage beginners to get over their fears of knitting in the round, turning heels and Kitchener stitch and be able to set off on their own sock knitting adventures. It worked for me - I think it's highly unlikely that I would ever have attempted to knit a pair of socks before chatting to Christine! I can now proudly say that on Saturday I followed Christine's request to cast on a new pair and get knitting to mark this significant milestone (and this is my 4th pair!).I hope you enjoy listening to our chat!<a href="https://www.winwickmum.co.uk/">You can find all the details about Christine's 10th anniversary giveaway over on her Winwick Mum blog as well as her free sockalong tutorials.</a><a href="https://makingstitchespodcast.com/2025/05/09/episode-87-celebrating-10-years-of-the-winwick-mum-sockalong-with-christine-perry/">For full show notes for this episode, please visit this page on the Making Stitches Podcast website.</a><a href="https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/58317/56249207423501794/share">To join the mailing list for the Making Stitches Newsletter, please click onto this link</a>The theme music is Make You Smile by RGMusic from <a href="https://www.melodyloops.com/">Melody Loops</a>.The Making Stitches logo was designed by Neil Warburton at <a href="https://www.iamunknown.com/">iamunknown</a>.You can support Making Stitches Podcast with running costs through <a href="https://ko-fi.com/makingstitches">Ko-fi.</a> Making Stitches  Podcast is supported by the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/MakingStitchesShop">Making Stitches Shop</a> which offers Making Stitches Podcast merchandise for sale as well as Up the Garden Path crochet patterns created by me &amp; illustrated by <a href="https://emmajackson.art/">Emma Jackson</a>.Making Stitches Podcast is presented, recorded and edited by Lindsay Weston.
