Let's Throw Some Kindness Around Like It's Confetti

Throw Kindness Around Like It's Confetti has been released into the world.

This sock has 3 of my favourite things: cables, lace, and contrasting toes and heels. Designing it and knitting it made me happy. This yarn is beautiful and working with it makes me happy. Looking at the finished sock makes me happy and I hope when you knit them and wear them, they make you feel happy.

Worked in beautiful Perfect Stitch Fibre Co Deluxe Chief yarn in 'Shocking Seas' and 'Berry Blizzard', this sock worked from the top down. The cable/lace design starts at the very top of the sock and continues onto the top of the foot. The back of the leg features ribbing until the short row heel which is worked in a contrasting yarn. The toe is also worked in a contrasting colour and is grafted closed with Kitchener stitch.

Sometimes You Have To Go With The Flow...

Introducing....Go With The Flow

Sometimes in life we need be passionately goal driven and hyper focused on making things happen and other times we need to sit back, relax, embrace what life puts in front of us, trust our instincts and see where that energy takes us.

Sometimes in knitting you need a sock that tests all of your skills and levels you up as a knitter and other times you need a beautifully simple and meditative sock that lets you enjoy the process and see where the yarn takes you; this is that sock.

Worked from the cuff down, Go With The Flow uses a super-simple yet beautiful stitch pattern that starts at the top of the leg and continues right down to the toe - even on the sole of the foot. The pattern features an afterthought heel so you don’t have to interrupt your flow to turn the heel.

So relax, enjoy, and Go With The Flow.

You can download Go With The Flow with a 20% discount until Monday June 5th, 2017 - no coupon code required! Click here to download it now! 

New Pattern Alert: Building Momentum Edition!

Momentum has been released into the world!

I had a lot of trouble choosing a word of the year for 2017. Ultimately I decided that in 2017 I would have a word of the month. As I sat writing this pattern at the beginning of March, my word of the month was ‘Momentum’; I will follow through on everything I start. I will keep going when I don’t feel like it. I will focus on my goal and work until I get there.

I hope that you build and manifest Momentum in your life as you work this pattern.

Worked in a beautiful light weight yarn and a gorgeous, rich colour, Momentum is a cuff-down pattern that features a cable design on the front of the leg and top of the foot of the sock. Momentum features a heel flap and gussets and ends with a rounded toe that is grafted closed with Kitchener stitch.
