Sock Wizard

Sock Wizard, developed by Knitting Software, is the latest knitting companion that craft enthusiasts have been waiting for. The current version, 2.0, continues to build on its predecessor (version 1.0), with an improved and easy-to-use interface reminiscent of Sweater Wizard. Available for free download, this program supports a wide range of operating systems including Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11.

The main program files, sockwiz.exe, and SockWizard.exe, offer an intuitive experience where users can select a shoe size, input gauge, and quickly start their knitting project. Whether knitting from cuff to toe or toe to cuff, Sock Wizard accommodates your preferences and needle choices, making it an essential tool in the Home & Hobby category for knitters of all levels.

One standout feature is the Sock Wizard Guide, which goes beyond the typical software manual. This in-depth help system doubles as a mini-book on sock knitting, making it invaluable for both novices and experienced knitters. Even if one has never knit a sock before, the combination of text instructions and pictorial renditions ensures that anyone can confidently craft their first pair of socks.

Pros:

• User-friendly interface, ideal for all levels of knitters.
