Just a few of my sock designs!
As a small designer trying to get my ideas and work out there it’s hard to get ‘seen’ but when I do and sock knitters buy a pattern, like or comment it makes my day. Its so lovely to see your knitted socks and versions from my patterns ❤️

Next pattern release - 1st June, Retro Bloom socks

Check Charm Socks - find my latest sock pattern in issue 269 of out today!

These were fun to knit using one of my favourite commercial yarns Filcolana Arwetta. Colour combinations are endless! I’m thinking of a Rusty red, pink and leafy green combination next or maybe a navy blue, off white and a bright red for the heel tee and cuff??? So many ideas just not enough knitting hours 😂

What colours would you knit these socks up in???

🌳🏠🌳Country Home Socks - pattern out today!

My month of May sock design is here and available via Ravelry and in my Etsy shop.

Country Home Socks is a charming colourwork and stripe design. The socks are knitted cuff down with a scenic countryside view of a row of pretty houses and line of leafy trees. The colourwork is on the leg of the sock only before an eye if partridge heel flap is worked and relaxing fun stripes for the foot of the sock.

I’ve used beautiful hand dyed mini skeins of classic sock yarn from in colours; Beach Huts, The Hunt, Pampus and cafe au lait.

The sun is due to be out all weekend here so I wish you a lovely weekend and happy stitching, Nx

DPN/Crochet Hook rolls available in my Etsy shop!
These were very popular last weekend at East Anglia Yarn Festival. All are made using cotton canvas and they are fully interfaced making them sturdy yet light weight and flexible. Great for organising all those hooks or double pointed needles.

I need a new case and can’t decide which print is my favourite 🤔
Happy stitching over the weekend, Nx
