The second sock can wait.

Second-sock syndrome: you finish the first sock, admire it, photograph it, and somehow never cast on its partner. Every sock knitter knows the condition. We named the company after it because the community wears its jokes better than any slogan — and because the second sock genuinely can wait.

Both, and we are strict about the order. Every chart is drawn to convention — right-side rows read right to left, odd numbers on the right edge, blank means knit, repeats boxed in red — and every yarnover is paired with its decrease so the stitch count holds. You could work most of them. The chart is decorative; your gauge is still your problem.

Each piece is made to order, which takes 2–5 business days of handling, then ships with tracking. Most US orders arrive within 5–10 business days all told. We ship to 18 countries — the US, Canada, the UK, much of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Japan — for a flat $4.95 per order, shown before you pay.

Check the size chart before you order — every piece is made to order, so we can’t accept returns or exchanges for size or change of mind, and honesty beats optimism on fit. If anything arrives misprinted, mislabeled, or damaged, send us a photo within 30 days of delivery and we’ll replace it free. Frogging is for yarn, not for your money.

The same discipline you already use for hand-dyed yarn: inside out, cold water, and skip the dryer when you can. The inks are water-based and rated for repeated washing — treat a tee like a swatch you actually like and it will outlast several WIPs.
