#new pattern release

Driftwood is one of those materials that straddles the line between beautiful and eerie. Wood that falls in the ocean is stripped bare by the water, eroded to a smooth touch until it washes back to shore. The Driftwood boot toppers use cables to mimic the weathered branches and roots that twist up and out from waterfronts across the world.

I knit my pair up with Sonder Yarn Co.’s Sunday Morning DK in the colourway Offline. The design needs approx. 150 - 190 yards of DK weight yarn.

Cold nights transform the water vapour on trees into feathery hoarfrost. In the morning, the world is cast in stunning contrast of shining ice against dark branches and pine needles. The Frosted Firs socks use a three colour fade set to reflect the sharp landscape, with colourways intermingling and melding together like frost on a fir tree.

It's City Lights release day! When rain falls on the city at night, the streets glitter and glow. Everyday lights for traffic and shops become a symphony of colour, reflecting on wet pavement and bringing the city to life. The City Lights fingerless mitts capture this effect in a sharp colourwork combination of tonal and variegated yarn.

I knit mine up with Yarn Ink's Classic Sock in the colourways Ink and f*ck off.

As always, a huge thank you goes out to the test knitters who helped to get this pattern ready! Your feedback is invaluable in making sure my patterns are the best they can be.

The Hot Chocolate sock knitting pattern is live! A chilly winter day calls for coziness, and on such a day, nothing says “cozy” quite like a hot chocolate and long woollen socks. I designed these to be a little longer than the average mid-calf sock, for extra warmth and luxury. Layers of warm milk and decadent cocoa come to life in these long stripey socks, calling for the most decadent of sock yarn. There’s only one important decision to make - whipped cream or marshmallows?

I knit my pair up in Little Wing Fiber’s Dreamy Cashmere (which is indeed dreamy!) in the colourways Onigiri and Osono’s Hot Chocolate.

As always, a huge thank you to my test knitter’s for all their help getting this pattern ready!

It's pattern release day for the Little Cafe socks!

A local coffee shop is a home away from home. A place where to enjoy a hot drink, see familiar faces, and fully relax. The Little Cafe socks are designed to be as comforting and enjoyable, to both knit and wear, as your regular cafe.

I knit my pair up in Arcane Fibre Works Merino Nylon 80/20 Fingering in the colourway Simple Pleasures (which feels very apt).

As always, a huge thank you to my test knitters for all their help getting this pattern ready!

It’s Dumpling Cat release day!

Dumpling Cats are academically-inclined critters in cozy sweaters. The name comes from the way the head is cinched closed at the top, much in the same way dumpling wrappers are twisted closed. Dumpling Cats are always ready to dive into a new special interest, tackle a big book, and sit moodily on benches in the fall with a cup of black coffee. They’re the perfect size for a squish-able desktop companion, cuddle-able reading buddy, or scary appointment support-from-your-bag friend.

I knit these little ones up in Cascade Yarns Noble Cotton, and the clothes using leftover DK weight yarn from my stash.

The Wild Roses sock knitting pattern is live!

Wild roses bloom in spring, heralding warm weather and growing greenery. These flowers may be smaller and less elaborate than their cultivated cousins, but they’re hardy and enduring, and their tiny pink blossoms a wonderful sight for any prairie traveller. They always make me nostalgic for childhood days spent wandering the countryside under the bright, open sky.

I knit my pair up in Little Wing Fibers' LW sock in the colourway Cherry Blossom Season.

As always, a huge thank you to my test knitters for all their help getting this pattern ready!
