Hunter Hammersen:
Hunter didn’t really like knitting the first time she tried it. She didn’t much care for it the second time either. It wasn’t till the third time, and the discovery of knitted socks, that she was properly smitten. Once she realized she could make up her own patterns, her fate was sealed. She left the oh-so-glamorous world of grad school for knitting, and has been busy designing ever since.

aFTER LISTENING TO Hunter Hammersen i AM TEMPTED TO START THE ADVENTURE OF KNITTING SOCKS….!!!
Today’s podcast was a wonderful adventure into the world of socks. So many people are scared to try socks but they really are not that hard at all. With all the yarn choices you can make some pretty crazy socks or plain socks, now time to go back to my knitting.
The podcast today was about the Adventure in knitting socks.
I so want to attempt to make socks! After listening to Hunter today I think I will jump into the adventure!
I am currently knitting socks with scrap yarns which makes every sock different, nothing matches, but it is definitely an adventure!
Like Hunter I view knitting as an ADVENTURE. I just wish that my family did not view the house maintenance as my obligation so that I could have more time doing a fun adventure!
Knitting socks is always an adventure for me.
Finding a new sock pattern is an adventure. I would love to have Hunter’s new book.
I think doing a live radio show is an adventure into itself. And doing it while in the midst of a cross country move qualifies as a grand adventure. I love Hunter’s designs. She has a unique voice amongst knitting designers.
I always love a good knitting adventure! Thanks for the show!
I love love love knitting socks and would love to embark on this new sock adventure! Fingers crossed
I love Hunter’s patterns. I am so glad to hear there is another Curls book coming. Knitting is such a wonderful adventure in yarns and patterns. Hunter is a good guide for the trip
I really respect Hunter’s work. She takes the humble sock and makes it an adventure.
Hi Marly,
I watched the face book video podcast with Hunter Hammersen which was very enlightening. I am getting back into knitting and so badly want to try to knit socks but feel a little intimidated. I would love to knit socks for my grandson and others as birthday and Christmas gifts. I know it would be a grand adventure for me to be able to knit socks with many of the various types of yarn and color schemes.
I can’t wait to try the new adventure of Hunter’s new book, Silk Road Socks. Thanks for a great podcast.
I really enjoyed the podcast with Marly and Hunter. I love Hunter’s patterns. I own both Curl books and I’d love to get my hands on Silk Road Socks. Knitting such intricate sock designs is always an adventure.
I am a new knitter who also wants to join the adventure of knitting socks. This is the reason I learned to knit.
I would love to take on the adventure of learning to knit socks! Thanks for a great podcast!
I am pleased that you included different sock sizes and yarn weights in your book. I am eager to start my sock knitting adventure because I have unusually small feet. The heels of store bought socks often show above my shoes. I am not familiar with the first book, but am very fond of oriental rugs.
The podcast was a great adventure with all about knitting socks! Thanks -so- much!
I remember what a great adventure it was when I was first learning how to knit socks, which are so fun.
I love all of Hunter’s designs. Can’t wait to go on a yarny adventure while working on one if her patterns
I am so incredibly excited for Hunter’s new book! I love Hunter’s patterns; each one is a knitting adventure!
Thanks for the awesome interview.
Knitting is always an adventure, you think you know where you’re going but there is always a surprise at the end.
After listening to this podcast, I’m ready for a sock adventure!
I hope to have the courage soon to tackle my own knit socks – it will be an adventure!
I have been reading/watching videos about knitting socks so I can start that adventure! I have yarn, just waiting on my sock needles to arrive. I have admired Hunter’s work for a long time and I may just have to get this book!
I adore hand-knitted socks. I’ve been going through a breast cancer scare, and for each step of the way through this adventure, my socks have a source of true comfort. I would love to take this adventure one step further with some of Hunter’s gorgeous socks!
